Game 38 - Detroit 5, Leafs 4 (SO) - Bernier holds off Detroit to get the Leafs to a shootout

The Leafs' first meeting of the year with their new divisional rival, and Winter Classic opponent, went poorly, but a good rally and some strong play from Jonathan Bernier allowed the Leafs to salvage a point from the game.

Cody Franson opened the scoring for the Leafs, but after that it was one-way traffic, Detroit generating twelve of the next thirteen chances, including three goals before the end of the period, which saw James Reimer pulled and replaced with Bernier.

The Leafs managed to pull things together in the second, Phaneuf getting them back within one midway through, and a late powerplay goal from Lupul tying the game. Toronto then took the lead midway through the third, through Clarkson, but after that Detroit gave a strong push to get level, getting rewarded when Tomas Tatar scored an equalizer. The two teams were pretty content to play for the extra point after that, with Detroit ultimately getting it in the shootout.

Other than a strong push in the back half of the second period, Detroit dominated play, more than doubling up the Leafs in chances. Toronto were dependent on getting some strong play from Jonathan Bernier to hold on in order to get to the shootout.

The only positive Leaf on the night was Carl Gunnarsson, an excellent +1 in nearly twenty minutes. Rielly and Liles were the pair that struggled, a game worst -9 and -8, respectively.
