Red Wings Defeat Maple Leafs 4-2 at Home

Jeff Petry emerged as a surprising offensive force for the Detroit Red Wings, scoring his first two goals of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Petry, who hadn't scored since April 11, 2023, netted the go-ahead goal early in the third period, shortly after Matthew Knies had tied the game for Toronto. Ville Husso, the Red Wings' third-string goalie, secured his first win since December 12, 2022, making 23 saves and stopping a crucial breakaway from Mitch Marner. Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond also contributed goals for Detroit, with Raymond's empty-netter sealing the victory. Despite being a dominant offensive team, Toronto has struggled recently, scoring three or fewer goals in their last six games. Detroit's victory marked just their second win in eight games, improving their record to 12-14-4.
