"Woll stopped 14 of 15 shots he faced in the first, letting in a late goal to tie the game 1-1, which was a deflating way to end the period based on how well Woll played. You can tell the Maple Leafs' netminder is finding his game of late, and it's this kind of athleticism that allows for him to make saves he has no business making:"
"Laughton opened the scoring just under five minutes into the game, on a shift where he was in the right place at the right time, and it paid off in a big way. Laughton scored his seventh of the season and continues to evolve as the heartbeat of this team. His chemistry with Steven Lorentz was on full display against the Red Wings."
Toronto Maple Leafs are banged up but have been playing some of their best hockey this season, yet they lost 2-1 in overtime to the Detroit Red Wings. The extra point could matter later, but the performance against a strong Red Wings club should satisfy the Leafs. Goaltender Joseph Woll delivered an outstanding showing, especially in the first period, stopping 14 of 15 shots and making several remarkable saves while allowing a late goal to tie the game. Scott Laughton scored early, his seventh of the season, and showcased strong chemistry with Steven Lorentz on five-on-five and the penalty kill. Defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson left in the first period with a lower-body injury after an awkward fall, raising concern given his consistency this season.
