Ted Kulfan The Detroit News Published 3:51 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 Newark, N.J. — All the travel issues from the day before, getting from Ottawa to New Jersey, didn't seem to matter. Dylan Larkin scored with 50.3 seconds left in overtime as the Red Wings again rallied for another victory, this time 3-2 over the New Jersey Devils. The Wings have won five of six, and eight of 10. BOX SCORE: Red Wings 3, Devils 2 (OT) Michael Rasmussen tied it at 2 at 13:37 of the third period with his fifth goal, deflecting Mike Green’s shot through goaltender Keith Kinkaid.

No hangover: No. 18 Michigan breezes past George Washington
James Hawkins The Detroit News Published 3:57 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 Uncasville, Conn. — There might’ve been some concern about a possible letdown or lack of focus, especially with the youth on Michigan's team. The Wolverines were riding high after an impressive pummeling of No. 8 Villanova just three days ago in a repeat of last season's national title game. No. 18 Michigan showed no effects of a hangover and jumped all over George Washington early in the first and second halves Saturday to run away with an 84-61 victory in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament at Mohegan Sun Arena. BOX SCORE: Michigan 84, George Washington 61 Redshirt junior wing Charles Matthews finished with 25 points on 10-for-13 shooting, sophomore guard Jordan Poole scored a career-high 22 and Zavier Simpson flirted with a triple-double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for Michigan, which rolled to its fourth consecutive double-digit win.

Michigan high school football: Chippewa Valley beats Belleville
Mick McCabe Special to the Free Press Published 4:03 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 There is efficient and there is Tommy Schuster. The Chippewa Valley senior quarterback completed 9 of 12 passes for 174 yards and three touchdowns Saturday to give the Big Reds a 28-16 victory over Belleville. The win sends Chippewa Valley to Saturday’s 1 p.m. Division 1 championship game against defending champ Clarkston. The play of Schuster was complemented by a terrific defensive effort that stymied Belleville’s high-powered offense. This is the Big Reds (13-0) first trip to the state finals since 2001 when they captured the Division 2 title. Belleville (12-1) took the game’s opening kickoff and marched to Chippewa Valley’s 25, but couldn’t score. Schuster completed all three of his passes, including a 20-yard score to Martice Bunting. Belleville used the remaining 4:58 of the first quarter to get in position for Christopher Lunsford’s 22-yard field goal four seconds … [Read more...] about Michigan high school football: Chippewa Valley beats Belleville

Michigan State football offense cold in 9-6 loss at Nebraska
Chris Solari Detroit Free Press Published 3:51 PM EST Nov 17, 2018 LINCOLN, Neb. — Even with a new starting quarterback, Michigan State football continues to operate in rerun mode. A dominating defense. An offensive offense. On repeat. Rocky Lombardi took over Saturday, with Brian Lewerke resting his injured shoulder, and the Spartans continued to sputter along with the ball. But the physical MSU defense time and again stopped Nebraska and talented freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez from driving. And Lewerke actually ended up contributing to the Spartans’ first two scoring plays, a pair of Matt Coghlin field goals. And their only scores. Lombardi’s fumble midway with about 10 minutes to play set up the Cornhuskers for a game-tying field goal, then MSU went three-and-out on its next drive. Aided by short field after a wind-deadened punt, Nebraska’s Barret Pickering booted his third field goal of the fourth quarter with 5:13 to play from 47 yards out to … [Read more...] about Michigan State football offense cold in 9-6 loss at Nebraska
