"Joseph Woll was arguably the story of the game. Coming off his worst performance of the year, Woll delivered an emphatic response, making 39 saves on 41 shots, while saving nearly a goal above expected at 5-on-5, via Natural Stat Trick. Scott Laughton opened the scoring, connecting on a tic-tac-toe sequence with Calle Jarnkrok and Steven Lorentz. Simon Edvinsson equalized in the final minute of the first frame, and the remainder of regulation was scoreless."
"Woll was under siege throughout the first period, and this may be the finest example: Woll stretched out to rob Lucas Raymond, the Red Wings reset behind the net, got the puck over to J.T. Compher in the slot, and the Maple Leafs' goaltender stood tall yet again. Woll made another clever save on Moritz Seider off the rush during the second period, and was completely locked in."
Toronto lost 2-1 in overtime to Detroit after Moritz Seider stripped Easton Cowan and found captain Dylan Larkin for the winner.
