Late Matthews goal dashes Red Wings’ rally

Detroit coach says Toronto made "one more play" than Red Wings did in a 3-2 loss Sunday. Ted Kulfan

Detroit — They’ve had several of these this season, but Sunday’s loss is going to leave a mark with the Red Wings.

With the game seemingly headed into overtime, and the Red Wings in position to earn another point or two in the standings, Toronto’s Auston Matthews had other ideas.

The Maple Leafs’ star scored with 30.2 seconds left in regulation time, giving Toronto a dramatic 3-2 victory.

“We had chances, it was pretty even,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said.
