The Detroit Red Wings reclaimed a piece of their championship puzzle on Sunday, signing free agent forward Mikael Samuelsson to a two-year contract. Samuelsson totaled 13 goals and 28 points in 48 games for the Florida Panthers last season after his acquisition from the Vancouver Canucks, for whom he picked up three points in six contests. The 35-year-old Swedish winger skated for Detroit from 2005-09, appearing in two Stanley Cup Finals and winning one title in 2008. In 669 NHL appearances for six clubs, Samuelsson has recorded 148 goals and 342 points. Detroit also agreed to terms on a three-year contract with forward Jordin Tootoo. The 29-year-old Manitoba native posted six goals and 30 points in 77 games for the Predators last season. In 486 NHL games, all with Nashville since the 2003-04 campaign, Tootoo has totaled 46 goals, 125 points and 725 penalty minutes. Also on Sunday, former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jonas Gustavsson agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Red Wings worth a total of $3 million. Gustavssons rights were traded to the Winnipeg Jets for a conditional seventh-round draft pick earlier in the off-season. The 27-year-old Gustavsson signed with the Maple Leafs from Sweden in 2009 and spent the past three seasons in Toronto. He was 17-17-4 last season with a 2.92 goals against average and .902 save percentage. Gustavsson, nicknamed the Monster, also had four shutouts. In 107 appearances with the Leafs, Gustavsson had a 2.98 goals against average and a .900 save percentage. Gustavsson signed as an undrafted free agent with the Maple Leafs in 2009 and was re-upped with a two-year deal worth a total of $2.7 million in 2010. nfl holdjersey .

Williams beat 2011 French Open champion Li Na of China 7-6 (1), 6-3 for her second win in round-robin matches to seal a semifinal spot at the tournament for the top eight players in the world.Paris, France (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal continued his quest for a third straight French Open title with another straight-set win Saturday, while fellow top seeds Andy Murray and David Ferrer also moved on to the second week with comfortable third-round wins. Nadal is gunning for a seventh title overall at Roland Garros and on Saturday advanced with a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Argentinas Eduardo Schwank. The second-seeded Spaniard has yet to be seriously tested, as he dropped just five games in the first round and four in the second before Saturdays methodical triumph. Next up for the 10-time Grand Slam champ will be another Argentine in Juan Monaco, who pulled out a grueling 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-4 slugfest against Canadian Milos Raonic. The 13th-seeded Monaco has never been past the fourth round in a major and will have his hands full trying to do so next week against Nadal, who owns a 3-1 record in the lifetime series with all three wins coming on clay. "We know each other very well, personally speaking, but also from the point of tennis," said Nadal about facing Monaco. "We spend a lot of hours together. We practice very often together. So we both know what were going to try and do when we play together. Well try and be very aggressive. Well try and speed up and change gears. And well see whos going to win." The fourth-seeded Murray cruised to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Colombias Santiago Giraldo, while the sixth-seeded Ferrer powered past Russian Mikhail Youzhny in a 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 rout. Things got so bad for Youzzhny at one point, he used his shoe to inscribe the word sorry -- spelling it SORRI -- in the red clay behind the baseline as an apology to the fans.dddddddddddd. Murray, who has continued to win despite a bad back, will next face a tough test in Frenchman Richard Gasquet. The 17th seed struggled early before taking command in a 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 victory over German veteran Tommy Haas. "My objective was not just to make it to the second week," noted Gasquet, who is just 1-10 lifetime in fourth-round matches at Grand Slam events. "I know I can do better. So Ill have to play a great match against Murray." Ferrer, meanwhile, will meet Spaniard Marcel Granollers, who outlasted Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu, 6-4, 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 6-1. Mathieu, coming off a nearly six-hour marathon in the second round against John Isner, appeared to finally run out of gas in the fifth on Saturday after battling all the way back from an 0-2 deficit. Also Saturday, eighth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic topped Frenchman Julien Benneteau, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4, and will next face 12th-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, who rolled to a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Argentinas Leonardo Mayer. Fourth-round play opens Sunday with four matches. Top-seeded Novak Djokovic will meet Italys Andreas Seppi, while third-seeded Roger Federer will take on lucky loser David Goffin of Belgium. French fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will square off against Switzerlands Stanislas Wawrinka and seventh-seeded Tomas Berdych will battle former U.S. Open champ Juan Martin del Potro. ' ' '
