Detroit Red Wings nearly rally from 5-goal deficit, but fall to Toronto Maple Leafs, 10-7

The Maple Leafs defeated the Red Wings 10-7 in the highest-scoring NHL game since 2011.

Fans at Little Caesars Arena went nuts as Filip Hronek, Carter Rowney, Joe Veleno and Michael Rasmussen scored over a 5:21 span in the third period. By that time, Alex Nedeljkov was back in the net he'd left midway through the first period. Both teams went through both of their goalies but the Wings put Alex Nedeljkovic back in net to start the third period, after he'd been replaced by Thomas Greiss midway through the first period.

Martin Holl beat Moritz Seider to the puck behind Detroit’s net and made a behind-the-back pass that sent the puck out front, where rookie Michael Bunting eluded Nick Leddy and tapped the puck in for his 18th goal. The Leafs had six shots on net before the Wings had one. The Wings seemed to gain a bit of momentum midway through the first period. Dylan Larkin won a faceoff and the puck went back to Filip Hronek, who slid it along the blue line to Marc Staal.
