Red Wings finally solve Maple Leafs jinx, first win vs. Toronto since 2017
Detroit − The Red Wings finally have a victory to their credit against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It had been a while, nine consecutive losses and the Wings hadn't defeated Toronto since Dec. 15, 2017, but the Wings did it Thursday in nailbiting fashion, 4-1.
Lucas Raymond and Robby Fabbri (power play) had early goals, Tyler Bertuzzi (empty net) and Moritz Seider (power play) scored in the final two minutes, while goaltender Ville Husso stopped 31 shots as the Wings (18-15-7) won their second consecutive game on this three-game homestand.
It was the second time in six days the Original Six rivals met, Toronto (26-10-7) winning 4-1 Saturday at Scotiabank Arena.
