SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Florida Panthers cooled off Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. Tomas Kopecky scored the winning goal in the 10th round of a shootout in the Panthers 3-2 victory over the Capitals on Friday night. Kopeckys goal went high over Philipp Grubauer and into the net. It came after the Panthers missed five previous chances to win the game during the shootout. The shootout matched the second-longest in Panthers history. The longest was 11 rounds against the Capitals on Nov. 28, 2007, a 2-1 Florida victory. "Obviously, it feels good, especially to win the game and get that extra point," Kopecky said. "We need every point right now." The Panthers won for the fourth time in five games and snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Capitals. The Caps lost for the first time in four games. Ovechkin was held without a point. He scored in each of the last seven games against the Panthers, and had four goals Tuesday night in a 6-5 overtime victory over Tampa Bay. "Hes one of the hottest players in the league and we know he can turn a game real fast," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said. "As a team we tried to pay attention to him. I think the guys did a really good job." Jonathan Huberdeau, Brad Boyes, and Nick Bjugstad also scored in the tiebreaker for Florida. Aleksander Barkov and Dylan Olsen had regulation goals, and Scott Clemmensen made 23 saves. Clemmensen has had plenty of experience facing Ovechkin and the Capitals. "Hes a Panther killer, has been ever since Ive been here and this is my fifth year," Clemmensen said. "So youre always aware when hes out there." Eric Fehr, Nicklas Backstrom, and Mikhail Grabovski scored shootout goals for Washington. Joel Ward and Backstrom scored in regulation, and Grubauer stopped 39 shots. Washington had only seven shots in the first period, and didnt get its eighth until 9:37 of the second. That changed quickly after Erik Gudbransons blow to Fehrs head at 16:16 of the second. Troy Brouwer then dropped the gloves with Gudbranson, drawing a fighting penalty. Gudbranson got a match penalty. Fehr returned in the third period. Both teams scored during the resulting 4-on-4 play, and Washington added another goal on the power play. "The guys on our team responded to that," Brouwer said. "I didnt get to see much after that but scoring two goals put us in a good position going into the third period to try to win the hockey game." The Capitals tied it at 1 when Backstrom scored 18 seconds into the 4-on-4 on a wrist shot from the slot. The Panthers answered when Barkov stole the puck near the blue line, brought it to the right circle, and wristed it past Grubauer on the stick side at 17:56. Ward added a power-play goal with 30 seconds left in the second. Originally ruled no-goal during a scrum in front of the net, the officials used a video review to determine the puck crossed the goal line. "I tried to plant myself to get ready for a shot and I saw it kind of leak through the goalie," Ward said. "There was no whistle called so I tried to follow it up and whack at it." Olsens goal started the scoring in the second. His bad-angle shot from low in the left circle got past Grubauer 2:13 into the period for his third goal in his past nine games. "You just see an opening and you throw it on net," Olsen said. "Its been fortunate to go in." The Capitals had a goal disallowed in the opening minute when it was ruled Martin Erat nudged Clemmensen out of the goal and interference was called.

This week, they discuss the Buffalo Bills quarterback situation, Patrick Chan, the New York Yankees and the NFLs infamous tuck rule. MIAMI -- Theres no place like home. Reds manager Dusty Baker is a firm believer in that. Making his first start at first base for Cincinnait this season, Yonder Alonso took full advantage of the opportunity to play in front of more than 200 friends and family members Tuesday night. It was his first trip as a big leaguer back to his hometown, where he also played college ball at the University of Miami. Alonso homered and drove in four runs, including a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning that sent the Reds to an 8-6 victory over the fading Florida Marlins. "Thats why he was out there," Baker said. "I told him he was going to play in front of his family. Usually guys play well in front of their families." Alonso hit a solo homer, his second, in the second inning and had an RBI single in the third. He finished with three hits. "Its funny because I went to dinner with my parents (Monday) and my mom told me that, I have a feeling that youre going to have such a good game and shes right about a lot of things," Alonso said. "She doesnt say that too often so when she does say it I guess she blessed me." Dave Sappelt tied the game at 6 with a two-run double and the Reds scored four times in the ninth off closer Leo Nunez (1-4), who blew his sixth save in 39 chances. They were the first career RBIs for Sappelt, who had three hits. "When theyre beating me with breaking balls, now youre in a titanic struggle. But since they were just beating me with fastballs it was just one of them things where Id eventually come out of it," Sappelt said. Jay Bruce hit his 27th home run for the Reds. Emilio Bonifacio homered and drove in three for the Marlins, who have lost six in a row. They are 2-16 in their last 18 games. "We had a meeting (before the game) and the guys played extremely well," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "I thought they were alive, there was some energy on the bench, guys were really pulling to pull this off. It looked like we had it, and then it went away." With the Reds trailing 6-4 going into the ninth, Toronto native Joey Votto walked and Brandon Phillips singled. Sappelt then laced a double to left field, scoring both runners. Three batters later, Alonso lined a two-run double to centre. "Thats a huge boost for the whole team,&" Alonso said.dddddddddddd. "Youre facing the closer, meaning thats your best guy in the bullpen. Its definitely very satisfying for us to do that." Aroldis Chapman (3-1) picked up the win, striking out the only batter he faced. Francisco Cordero pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 27th save in 32 chances. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco struck out eight to move past Dontrelle Willis, now pitching for the Reds, to become the clubs career strikeout leader with 765. "It wont sink in now," Nolasco said. "Everybodys frustrated. Personal goals arent going to mean anything right now when the team is scuffling like this." Nolasco allowed four runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. "Overall, he did a pretty good job, but pretty good isnt good enough," McKeon said. Reds starter Johnny Cueto yielded three runs in five innings and issued a season-high six walks. "He never really settled in," Baker said. "He was in trouble all of the time. Thats not like Johnny to walk people. He struggled, but he kept us close enough for us to come back and win the game." NOTES: Nolasco has 127 strikeouts this season. ... Bonifacios only other multi-RBI game came against the Reds on May 1 when he also drove in three. ... Cordero recorded his 200th save in the National League. ... After the game, the Marlins recalled OF Logan Morrison from Triple-A New Orleans and designated OF Dewayne Wise for assignment. ... Willis, who played five seasons with the Marlins (2003-07), received a generous ovation from the crowd when he was chosen to change the Sun Life Stadium game countdown after the fifth inning. The Marlins have 14 games remaining at Sun Life before moving to the new Marlins Ballpark next season. ... The teams will play a doubleheader on Wednesday in attempt to avoid potential inclement weather due to Hurricane Irene. Homer Bailey and Bronson Arroyo will pitch for the Reds and the Marlins will counter with Javier Vazquez and Chris Volstad. Bailey is 4-1 in his last five decisions and Arroyo will be looking for his first career win against the Marlins. Hes 0-3 in 10 games, seven starts. For the Marlins, Vazquez is 4-1 against the Reds since 2003 and Volstad is 0-2 with a 6.55 ERA in two starts since being recalled from Triple-A New Orleans. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
