For the second straight game, the Maple Leafs were behind by two after a poor opening period.
William Nylander had two points and the Leafs got within a goal twice, but Toronto fell to a second straight defeat.
Toronto led in Corsi for much of the game, and moved ahead in total chances after the third period, but, as with the Buffalo game, were well behind in chances while the score was close. The Leafs also managed a slight edge in controlled entries, and finished pretty clearly ahead in Corsi.

Another terrible start saw the Leafs surrender the first ten chances of the game, and they were behind 16-4 just after the midway point. After that, the game was all Toronto as they closed the game on a 16-2 run, including the last eleven chances. Those came as they pushed for an equalizer, with only one ending up in the net.

Brad Boyes moved onto a line with Nazem Kadri and Michael Grabner, but that trio struggled — heavily outchanced primarily against the Zetterberg line. Kadri and Boyes were the worst among the forwards at -4.
William Nylander had a relatively quiet night in terms of chances, although he was effective on the scoresheet. P.A. Parenteau, normally on his line, had a couple of effective shifts away from Nylander, finishing with the best chance numbers of the forwards.
Frederik Gauthier, playing with Byron Froese and Brooks Laich, also had a busy night, generating a decent amount of offense against the Detroit fourth line. Tyler Bozak, still with his two young teammates, had a quiet game, only on for only a couple of chances both ways.
Andrew Campbell and T.J. Brennan were again the weak point in the Leaf defence, as they played much less than the other pairings but were easily the worst defensively. Campbell was on for ten ES chances against, a team low, and Brennan wasn’t far behind. Morgan Rielly, on the other hand, had another very strong game, and was excellent at limiting controlled entries. He played mostly with Martin Marincin, but had a few good minutes with Jake Gardiner as well.
