Detroit saw their three game win streak snapped in Toronto on Saturday in a 5-1 loss against the Leafs.
Toronto stuck first with a snapshot from Wayne Primeau that beat Chris Osgood. Then with less than 30 seconds left in the first period, Phil Kessel scored on a redirecting puck that bounced off multiple players before rolling through Osgood’s five-hole. Toronto’s Jeff Finger scored in the second. Primeau, Kessel and Finger’s goals were their first of the season. Dan Cleary put Detroit on the board with his 100th career goal on a breakaway before Toronto scored two more goals.
Toronto did a good job of blocking shooting and passing lanes. Detroit left lanes open and allowed Toronto full access to Osgood. The result was a game they never had a chance to win. The worst part of the game for the Wings came when forward Jason Williams suffered a broken leg when his skate caught a grove in the ice while he was falling and was trapped underneath him when one of the Leafs fell on top of him.
In Play! Man of the Game: Jonas Gustavsson. Gustavsson made 35 saves on 36 shots. Recording a save percentage of .972.
