Red Wings high Maple Leafs in OT, get seventh win in 8 video games

Detroit ahead Patrick Kane didn’t have some extent and stays two from tying Mike Modano (1,374) for essentially the most factors by a United States-born participant in NHL historical past.

The Maple Leafs went up 1-0 at 4:46 of the primary interval. Calle Jarnkrok fanned on a one-timer on the proper face-off dot off a cross from Steven Lorentz however inadvertently directed the puck to Laughton, who shot previous Gibson’s blocker from the low slot.

“You want to get the extra point especially within the division, but we didn’t and we keep moving forward,” Laughton stated. “I thought we played a better game than Minnesota, we were tighter. … We just have to find a way to get that extra goal, a greasy one at some point in the game.”

Edvinsson tied it 1-1 on the push at 19:42. He scored previous Woll’s blocker with a one-timer within the slot off a cross from Lucas Raymond, who was on the backside of the correct circle.

“We caught them holding at the line, pinching if you will, and were able to take the rush and get it,” Detroit coach Todd McLellan stated. “So now you come in after the first (period) on the road, you’re tied up and there’s a little more positivity going through the room versus being down by one, and then from there on it was pretty even.”

The Maple Leafs outshot the Red Wings 14-7 within the second interval earlier than Detroit outshot Toronto 13-5 within the third and 6-0 in additional time.

“We’re fine no matter which (type of) game we play,” Gibson stated. “We know it’s going to be tighter as it keeps going, so we have to be more comfortable in those games and I thought we did a great job tonight.”

Laughton had an opportunity to offer the Maple Leafs the lead at 16:41 of the second on a penalty shot, however he misplaced management of the puck and didn’t get off a powerful try.

“I was too tired,” Laughton stated. “I should have faked a broken stick and let (Auston) Matthews go or something. I’ve done that move before and just lost the puck, that’s pretty much it.”

NOTES: Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson left the sport at 8:57 of the primary interval with a lower-body damage after his proper leg appeared to get twisted when he bought twisted up with Raymond. Toronto coach Craig Berube didn’t have an replace after the sport. … Larkin scored his twelfth additional time aim, tying Sergei Fedorov for essentially the most in Red Wings historical past. “I think it is an asterisk because if he had 3-on-3 overtime (when he played), nobody would be catching that (record),” stated Larkin, the Detroit captain. “It’s cool to be a part of history and it’s nice to win, so they’re big goals, important points and a lot of times I’m getting a nice pass or a nice play like Seider did tonight, so it’s nice to cap it off there.” … Detroit swept a season collection in opposition to Toronto for the second time within the 99-season historical past of the rivalry (minimal 4 video games performed). The solely different occasion was in 1995-96 (5-0-0).
