Red Wings Defeat Maple Leafs 4-2 as Jeff Petry Scores First Goals of the Season

Detroit capitalizes on strong defensive play and Ville Husso's first win in over a year, while Toronto prepares for a home game against Buffalo.

Jeff Petry scored twice, including the game-winning goal, marking his first goals of the season and leading the Detroit Red Wings to victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Ville Husso, Detroit's third-string goaltender, secured his first win in over a year with 23 saves, stepping up in the absence of injured teammates Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon.
Toronto's Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies each scored, with Matthews continuing his strong record against Detroit, but the Maple Leafs have now scored three or fewer goals in six consecutive games.
Detroit's Lucas Raymond added an empty-net goal, his 10th in the past 12 games, as the Red Wings secured only their second win in their last eight outings.
The Maple Leafs, who lead the NHL in home wins, will host the struggling Buffalo Sabres on Sunday, with Dennis Hildeby expected to start in goal as Anthony Stolarz recovers from a lower-body injury.
