In the second half of a back-to-back, the Maple Leafs were able to hold off Detroit.
After almost two scoreless periods, Michael Grabner’s breakaway chance ended up in the net off his butt, and Jonathan Bernier played well in the final period to earn a victory.

The two sides were close in possession until the third period, when Detroit upped the pressure in the chase for the equalizer. The Red Wings had the advantage in chances for most of the game; while the Leafs had more zone entries, they had very few with control as they defended the lead.
Grabner’s goal came against the run of play, as it was in the midst of a 10-1 run of Detroit chances that stretched into the middle of the third period. A couple of strong Toronto shifts saw them threaten to open up the lead further, and they did a solid job of limiting Detroit’s chances in the last five minutes.

The offense in this game came from William Nylander’s line, as he combined with Zach Hyman and P.A. Parenteau to generate as many chances as the other lines combined. They didn’t have a great defensive night, but they were able to stay even. The top line also had a solid game, playing mostly against Zetterberg’s line. They managed to limit the chances against, and had strong numbers preventing zone entries. The line that struggled was Brooks Laich with Colin Greening and Peter Holland, as they produced little offense, had very few controlled entries, and were on for a lot of chances against. That trio was used defensively, but they weren’t effective in the role.
Martin Marincin and Morgan Rielly got a lot of minutes and were given hard defensive minutes as well. That didn’t work out well for them, as both were heavily outchanced. Rielly’s -7 differential was tied for the team worst. Frank Corrado and Jake Gardiner were the only pairing to stay at least even, while Rinat Valiev played sparingly in his second NHL game.
