"The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped their second straight game on home ice, losing 2-1 in overtime to the Detroit Red Wings. The loss resulted in the Red Wings completing the regular season series sweep over the Maple Leafs. It was a stronger effort than Monday night's game, which saw them fall to the Minnesota Wild 6-3. The tight-checking, low-scoring affair resembled much of the style of play that teams play in the postseason."
"Woll turned aside 39-of-41 shots, bouncing back after two starts in a row that saw the 27-year-old allow six goals against the Vegas Golden Knights last Thursday and five goals against the Wild before being pulled to start the third period on Monday. "I just got back to my process, got back in and did my best to stay in the moment," Woll said. "I thought our guys did a really good job at making things predictable and coming up with some big blocks.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost 2-1 in overtime to the Detroit Red Wings, marking a regular-season series sweep by Detroit. The low-scoring, tight-checking game resembled postseason play and ended on an overtime goal. Goaltender Joseph Woll stopped 39 of 41 shots, rebounding after allowing multiple goals in his previous two starts by refocusing on his process. The Maple Leafs’ defense stepped up despite losing Oliver Ekman-Larsson early, with Jake McCabe leading the team with 28:09 of ice time. The Red Wings’ roster has improved steadily in recent years, with Patrick Kane a major contributor to their rise.
