The Leafs opened the scoring but then allowed four unanswered goals to close the first period, exhibiting a lack of defensive effort and (on one goal) woeful goaltending. However, they came out on fire in the second period and scored three to tie the game, including Matthews’ history-making goal. No one scored in the third before Detroit cashed in on an overtime power play to keep their playoff chase alive.

1. Both teams got a couple of looks early on in this game. The top line created a look for Tyler Bertuzzi that created a big rebound, but Detroit’s Ben Chiarot got the clear.
