Overview

• Detroit won 3-2 on Mason Appleton’s goal with roughly 45 seconds left after a late icing set up a defensive-zone faceoff.
• Toronto controlled the game and outshot Detroit 40-15, but Cam Talbot turned aside prime chances, including an Auston Matthews breakaway.
• Top prospect Easton Cowan debuted on the first line with Matthews and Matthew Knies, helping drive a 10-0 shots edge at 5-on-5 and earning late-game trust.
• Calle Jarnkrok tied the game in the third period and has scored in three straight to start the season.
• The Maple Leafs fell to 1-2-0 as the power play remained ineffective and Craig Berube pressed for more urgency, with Nashville visiting Tuesday.
