DETROIT, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Aleksander Barkov scored in overtime and the Florida Panthers, playing a day after coach Joe Quenneville resigned amid a sex scandal, beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Friday night at Little Caesars Arena to run their season-opening winning streak to eight. Quenneville resigned Thursday, two days after being among those implicated for not responding swiftly to allegations by former Chicago player Kyle Beach of being sexually assaulted by then-Blackhawks assistant Brad Aldrich during the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs. Andrew Brunette, an assistant under Quenneville, directed the Panthers as interim coach.
Sam Gagner and Pius Suter scored for Detroit, with Suter tying it with 3:41 left in regulation with his first goal of the season. The Red Wings dropped to 4-3-1. They play in Toronto on Saturday night.
