Panarin has goal and assist, Quick gets 61st career shutout as Rangers beat Red Wings 4-0

DETROIT (AP) — Artemi Panarin had a goal and an assist, Jonathan Quick stopped 37 shots for his 61st career shutout, and the New York Rangers beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-0 on Saturday night to complete a sweep of the three-game season series.

Jimmy Vesey, Chris Kreider and Reilly Smith also scored for the Rangers, who have won three of four.

Panarin, who reached the 800-point mark in New York’s 6-1 loss to Buffalo on Thursday, has at least one point in 11 of his last 12 games against the Red Wings. Quick had eight saves in the first period, 19 in the second and 10 in the third for his first shutout in three starts this season.

Ville Husso had 20 saves for Detroit in his first appearance since opening night. The Red Wings have lost two straight and five of seven (2-4-1).

Rangers: Quick, 38, went 18-6-2 behind Igor Shesterkin last season and has won all three of his starts this season.

Red Wings: Husso was recalled from the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday with Alex Lyon sidelined by a lower-body injury.

The Red Wings, who trailed 1-0 after the first period, peppered the Rangers' net most of the second period with 19 shots on goal. Patrick Kane and Dylan Larkin had shots clang off the goal post. Vesey then stifled Detroit's momentum and gave his team a 2-0 advantage by beating Husso on the glove side with 3:08 remaining in the period.

Quick has a shutout in 17 consecutive seasons for the sixth-longest streak in NHL history.

The Rangers host Winnipeg on Tuesday, and Red Wings visit Pittsburgh on Wednesday to open a four-game trip.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — MiLaysia Fulwiley scored 17 points to lead South Carolina's balanced offense, and the second-ranked Gamecocks used a big run in the third and fourth quarters to pull away for an 83-52 victory over Missouri in their SEC opener Thursday night.

Te-Hina Paopao and Ashlyn Watkins added 11 points apiece, and Tessa Johnson had 10, helping the Gamecocks (13-1, 1-0) beat the Tigers (11-5, 0-1) for the fourth straight time and win their eighth straight overall since a loss to UCLA on Nov. 24.

South Carolina, which has struggled in past years at Mizzou Arena, led 36-26 at the break and was still clinging to a 48-37 advantage after the Tigers' Ashton Judd hit a 3-pointer with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. But after Paopao was fouled by Nyah Wilson at the other end, her two free throws started a 17-0 run that stretched into the fourth.

Judd led the Tigers with 15 points. Grace Slaughter finished with 13.

South Carolina showcased its depth and scoring versatility in getting 57 points off the bench.

Missouri was just 18 of 57 from the field (32%), and rarely will that kind of clip knock off the Gamecocks.

The Tigers were hanging around until Paopao was fouled late in the third quarter. Her two free throws began an 11-0 run to end the quarter — one that eventually reached 17-0 — and effectively put the game away.

Missouri had just two points on a fastbreak in the game.

South Carolina concludes its two-game road swing to open SEC play against Mississippi State on Sunday. Missouri continues its tough start to conference play when it visits No. 19 Alabama the same day.
