Scott Laughton pokes fun at unsuccessful penalty shot during loss to Red Wings

"You wanna get the extra (point), especially within the division, but we didn't, and we keep moving forward,"

"I thought we played a better game than (against) Minnesota, we were tighter, our D grinded. You go down to five D that early, it's a grind, and they played really well for us."

"He fans on it, tried to go in for a rebound, and I was lucky enough that it bounced off a stick and I had a wide open net,"

"I've done that move before, just lost the puck. That's pretty much it. I could probably shoot it there, it's easy to say once I watch it again, slow it down, do all that, but that doesn't go in. Sun comes up tomorrow and we get back at it."

The Maple Leafs lost to the Red Wings and failed to secure an extra division point despite a stronger, tighter game and improved defensive effort. Scott Laughton scored Toronto's lone goal after Calle Järnkrok fanned on a rebound and the puck deflected into an open net. Oliver Ekman-Larsson exited with an injury, forcing the team down to five defensemen early and turning the contest into a physical grind. Late in the third, Laughton was awarded a shorthanded penalty shot after being hooked on a breakaway but mishandled the attempt. The Leafs have a day off before hosting Vegas with Mitch Marner returning to Toronto.
