DETROIT–Brian Campbell fired a shot from the high slot on the rush to giver the Florida Panthers a 2-1 overtime, comeback victory Sunday afternoon over the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena.
The Panthers Reilly Smith tied the game at 14:38 of the third period to erase Detroit’s 1-0 lead the Wings enjoyed since 7:02 of the second period when rookie Dylan Larkin scored a breakaway goal off a Florida turnover.
Roberto Luongo won a battle of goaltenders stopping 28 of 29 shots while Petr Mrazek stopped 30 of 32 Florida shots in the loss. Highlights of the game from NHL.com are here: http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2015020354&navid=sb:recap&intcmpid=sb-highlights
The victory sees the Panthers finish a rugged month of November at 5-5-2, and through two months Florida is 10-9-4 for 24 points. The afternoon contest was the only game on the NHL schedule today. Florida plays St. Louis Tuesday night in the second game of their five game road trip.
Jaromir Jagr played his normal shift but the Panthers high scoring top line was held off the board and were on the ice when Aleksander Barkov’s exit pass from the end zone was intercepted by Larkin.
The Panthers play the second game of their road trip Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues.

@68Jagr This is the real site, the one and only official Jaromir Jagr twitter account. Postings are rare.
The two best Jagr facebook pages are: https://www.facebook.com/68Jagr/ This is the page Jagr posts on, if he is going to post at all.
Another good facebook page is one produced by someone in the Czech Republic. It has more than 100,000 likes. This is not the official page, but it is very good.

@68isgr8 is the twitter for The Traveling Jagrs. Clad in different Jagr jerseys and hair styles from 68’s career, they gained league-wide recognition when they caught Jagr’s attention during a pre-game skate of a Dallas Stars game in Canada during the 2012-2013 season. Since then, they convene at games in Western Canada and make a road trip or two every year, playing street hockey with locals, posing for hundreds of pictures, and having a good time with fans while honoring an all-time NHL legend.
