TORONTO — The Detroit Red Wings showed how well they can play, charging into their opponents zone and building a lead on the strength of rookies.
They took on one of the NHL’s best teams Sunday at Scotiabank Arena and delivered their best start in weeks. The Maple Leafs struck back – they have one of the top offenses in the NHL – and the Wings had to settle for a 5-4 loss in overtime.
Dylan Larkin extended his point streak to 11 games by drawing an assist on what was Michael Rasmussen’s first goal in 17 games.
