DETROIT -- Tom Rowes first two games in charge of an NHL team lasted longer than regulation, making him sweat it out to earn his first taste of success.Aleksander Barkov scored on a breakaway 2:04 into overtime to lift the Florida Panthers to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night, giving their interim coach his first victory.The Panthers outplayed Detroit after a rough start. They lost 2-1 in a shootout at Chicago in Rowes debut on Tuesday night.In between periods I was saying, `We deserve it, Rowe recalled.Rowe said equipment manager Teddy Richards gave him the game puck as a keepsake. Rowe coached Floridas AHL affiliates in Portland and San Antonio and was an assistant with Carolina before moving into the Panthers front office and then behind the bench to replace the fired Gerard Gallant.Big win, first for him, Panthers captain Derek MacKenzie said. Hopefully, theres many more.The Red Wings extended their point streak to five games after losing four straight and nine of 11, but were fortunate to get anything positive out of a night in which they struggled at both ends of the ice.We should feel very lucky that we got one, Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall said.The Red Wings went ahead 1:23 into the game when Henrik Zetterberg scored on their first shot, ending a six-game drought.We weathered the storm, Rowe said. The beginning of the game they came out hard on us, but we were able to get out of the first period with a tie.The Panthers were close to skating into the second period with the lead.Floridas Vincent Trocheck had a goal negated late in the opening period when Detroit coach Jeff Blashill challenged that Panthers defenseman Jason Demers was offside. Demers then scored with 1:45 left in the first, pulling the Panthers into a tie on a shot that was redirected off Detroit defenseman Danny DeKeyser.The Panthers put much more pressure on Petr Mrazek, who stopped 28 shots in regulation, than Detroit did on Roberto Luongo, who faced just 13 shots over the first two periods and had just 18 saves through three periods.When you outplay someone like that, theres a good chance youre going to outshoot them, Blashill said. They outplayed us certainly in one area because we turned too many pucks over.Detroit had a power play with 3:14 left in regulation when MacKenzie was called for goaltender interference, but couldnt take advantage of the opportunity.On a night in which Detroit didnt generate many scoring chances, it was fortunate get a goal early in the game. Florida defenseman Aaron Ekblad made a no-look, between-the-legs pass behind him in his teams end of the ice, and it went off a teammate before Zetterberg got to the loose puck. Zetterberg took it from the right circle and into the slot for a backhander that went past Luongo.Rowe insisted he didnt have a problem with Ekblads pass.A little too risky, but we dont want to take creative plays out of our players hands, he said.Demers scored in a 4-on-4 situation on a sequence off a faceoff in which Floridas other three skaters touched the puck.Game notes The Red Wings have been banged up this season, losing players at every position to injuries, and may have taken another hit in the first period when forward Justin Abdelkader left with a lower-body injury. I dont think hes going to be out that long, but well see, Blashill said. ... Rowe and Gallant, who was fired Sunday, are former Red Wings players. ... Detroit F Drew Miller along with Florida D Dylan McIlrath and F Shawn Thornton were healthy scratches.UP NEXTPanthers: Play at Ottawa on Saturday in fourth of five-game road trip.Red Wings: Start a three-game road trip Saturday at Pittsburgh.---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylageKyle Walker Jersey .

EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon?football coach Mark Helfrich will meet with athletic director Rob Mullens this week to discuss his future with the Ducks.Helfrich said Saturday evening that he has never had a season-ending meeting or review with Mullens in his previous three seasons as head coach.Now that our season is complete, I will evaluate all aspects of our football program, as I do with all of our sports after their seasons have ended, Mullens said via release Sunday night. That evaluation includes meeting with Coach Helfrich in the coming days to discuss the future of Oregon football.Neither Mullens nor Nike mogul and Oregon booster Phil Knight has yet to voice any kind of strong public support for Helfrich, and Knight was noticeably absent Saturday from Oregons rivalry game against Oregon State, as he chose to attend the Michigan-Ohio State game in Columbus, Ohio, instead.Helfrich said he called Mullens on Sunday morning to see if the two could meet before his end-of-season news conference, but Mullens travel schedule wouldnt permit that.I asked if we could meet today, and it just didnt work out, Helfrich said.Mullens left for Texas on Sunday for his role on the College Football Playoff committee. With his duties and the rankings revealed Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET, presumably the earliest the two could meet would be late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. Until then, Helfrich will carry on with business as usual -- conducting the Ducks season-end banqueet on campus Sunday morning and hitting the recruiting trail after that.ddddddddddddThe Ducks finished 4-8 this season -- their worst finish since 1991 -- and capped the year with a loss to rival Oregon State on Saturday evening. Late Saturday night, USA Today Sports reported that preparations were being made for a coaching search and Helfrich admitted that he didnt sleep much on Saturday evening.Helfrich said that the timing of it all and the inability to have a conversation with the athletic director before going out recruiting is not ideal. ... less than ideal because it puts him and his staff in a tough situation as questions and skepticism swirl about their job security.Obviously this kind of situation occurs, and its not ideal for anybody, Helfrich said. Well be very honest about everything, as is always our approach in recruiting.Helfrich did say that if he keeps his job, he wouldnt plan to make any changes to the coaching staff and that none of his coaches had informed him as of Sunday morning that they would be retiring or had been contacted about other opportunities.In the past four seasons, Helfrich is 37-16 as a head coach, but half of those losses came this season, and this is the first season since 2004 that Oregon isnt eligible for a bowl game.If fired, Helfrich would be owed an $11.6 million buyout by Oregon.
