Game 76 - Detroit 4, Leafs 2 - Toronto slumps to another defeat as playoffs seem out of reach

The Leafs played a fairly even game with the Red Wings, but some quick Detroit goals, three in five minutes, and an inability to catch up a deficit in the third period, continued a familiar story that saw their losing streak stretch to eight.

A solid opening period saw the Leafs take the lead through Franson, and have the chance lead as well, though narrowly. The second period actually saw the chances again go to the Leafs, 5-4 ES and 8-7 overall, but they fell behind on the scoreboard, giving up a shorthanded marker, along with a pair of other goals to fall behind.

This left the Leafs chasing again in the third, and they did a poor job of it, as they generated just three chances in the twenty minutes, and were comfortably outchanced by the Wings in the frame.

Detroit's strong third period ended up seeing them get the most of the chances, 14-13 at ES and 18-16 overall. Detroit also edged 5-on-5 close, 8-6.

The top line was solid, with Bozak +1 and Kessel even, but Lupul and Raymond were also among the best of the Leafs forwards, as both were +1 as well. Dave Bolland had his best game since his return, at +2, while Nazem Kadri had a terrible night, his game-worst -5 clearly weaker than any of the other Leaf forwards.

Rielly and Gardiner had good nights on the back end, both +1, as was Carl Gunnarsson. The much-maligned Dion Phaneuf was also even, while the defenseman that struggled was Cody Franson, on for a game worst 8 chances against.

David Legwand was the best of the Red Wings, at +4, with Johan Franzen at +3, and Alfredsson, Nyquist and Lashoff at +2. Kronwall, who was one of the team leaders in ice time, actually had a tough game, a -3, as did Jurco.

Detroit - David Legwand, Johan Franzen, Gustav Nyquist

Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Nazem Kadri, Cody Franson, James Van Riemsdyk
