 Michael Grabner scored for Toronto, which recorded its first
regulation win since Feb. 25.
Petr Mrazek made 26 saves for Detroit.
Grabner gave the Maple Leafs a 1-0 lead with 30 seconds left in the
second period. On a breakaway he was taken down by Red Wings
defenseman Danny DeKeyser, and Grabner and the puck slid into Mrazek
and the net. The referee originally called for a penalty shot, but
after a review by the NHL Situation Room in Toronto, it was ruled
that the puck slid into the net before it was dislodged, making it a
goal.
It was Grabner's seventh goal and first in 31 games. His last goal
had been on Jan. 2.
An apparent goal by Detroit's Luke Glendening was waved off because
he knocked the puck in with his hand.
 An apparent goal by Toronto's Ben Smith with 7:02 left in the first
period also was waved off because he knocked the puck in with his
shoulder and arm.
Mrazek made a big save on William Nylander, who was at the bottom of
the right circle, 1:20 into the game. Mrazek also stopped Nazem
Kadri on a breakaway 5:15 into the first period.
The Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk went to the dressing room after getting
caught up in a collision with the Maple Leafs' Leo Komarov and Kadri
late in the first period, but Datsyuk returned in the second period.
