Dylan Larkin nets hat trick, Red Wings earn impressive 5-2 victory in Toronto

Toronto - The crowd out there who want the Red Wings to keep losing and gain better odds in the draft lottery probably hated this result.

Still, you want to think many Red Wings fans enjoyed Sunday's 5-2 victory over Toronto, in a game that still means quite a bit with the Maple Leafs looking to secure home-ice advantage.

The Wings completely reversed Friday's slow start with a three-goal first period Sunday, and never looked back against the Leafs.

Dylan Larkin scored his second goal of the night, and 30th of the season, restoring a two-goal lead, 4-2, at 10 minutes and 16 seconds of the third period and capped the hat trick with an empty-net goal.
