Lucas Raymond added his 12th of the season into
an empty net season at 19:41.
The start of the game was delayed by about 50 minutes because
weather caused travel problems for the Red Wings.
Pontus Holmberg and Mitchell Marner scored for the Maple Leafs.
Marner reached 600 career points in 548 games with the goal, the
fastest to reach the plateau in franchise history.
Ilya Samsonov made his first start for the Maple Leafs since
Dec. 29 and stopped 20 shots.
Dylan Larkin and Daniel Sprong also scored for the Red Wings.
Former Maple Leafs player James Reimer made 28 saves.
Samsonov, whose struggles resulted in a demotion to the Toronto
Marlies of the American Hockey League, made some good saves
early in the first period. Detroit had a 10-7 advantage in shots
on goal in the opening period. Toronto had three power plays in
the first and Detroit had one.
Holmberg scored his second goal of the season 32 seconds into
the second period when he tipped in Morgan Rielly's shot from
the left point.
Larkin scored his 17th at 15:39 of the second. Forechecking set
up Larkin for his shot from a sharp angle from the left of the
net.
Detroit almost scored again soon after, but the puck was cleared
off the goal line.
Toronto regained the lead on Marner's 18th goal of the season at
18:18 of the second on a tap-in of Tyler Bertuzzi's pass.
Toronto had a 21-17 advantage in shots on goal after two
periods.
Sprong burst in alone to score his 11th goal of the season at
2:46 of the third period after Rielly's stick broke.
Detroit's Patrick Kane (lower-body injury) left the game during
the first period and did not return.
Toronto defenseman Mark Giordano (rest) did not play.
