Next up, the real season.
The games that don't count ended Saturday for the Red Wings, with a 5-1 loss in Toronto.
Pius Suter opened the scoring with a first-period goal, set up by Adam Erne and Gustav Lindstrom.
But Toronto answered with five unanswered goals, with Auston Matthews (both power play) and William Nylander (one power play) each scoring two goals, and Denis Malgin adding a goal.
Wings goaltender Jussi Olkinuora stopped 13 of 15 shots, and Victor Brattstrom made eight of 11 saves.
Special teams proved to be a significant difference in the game.
