Wings goaltending roughed up in loss to Leafs

Toronto — One area which hasn’t been a problem so far for the Red Wings has been goaltending.

So far.

That changed Wednesday, in a 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto, as just making a save became an issue.

Jimmy Howard started but allowed three goals on four shots, then was replaced by Petr Mrazek, who allowed the first goal he faced before settling down, as the Red Wings couldn’t overcome the off night.

“There were some funny kind of goals,” said coach Jeff Blashill, not putting the entire blame on the goaltending.
