Maple Leafs send Red Wings to another loss; Mantha hurt
Toronto — The Red Wings lost another game, lost another goalie, and lost Anthony Mantha.
Other than that, it was a decent evening, as they suffered another loss Saturday, 4-1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Goaltender Jonathan Bernier left with a sore groin just seven minutes into the game and was replaced by Calvin Pickard.

Pickard entered on a Toronto power play, which the Wings successfully killed, then kept the Wings close for as long as he could against the offensively powerful Leafs.
