Maple Leafs Triumph 3-1 Over Red Wings Despite Matthews' Absence, Thanks to Marner's Standout Game

Friday, November 8th, 2024

Mitch Marner contributed to the Toronto Maple Leafs' 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings by scoring a goal and providing an assist on another one.

John Tavares found the net twice, including one into an empty net. Morgan Rielly assisted on two goals, and Anthony Stolarz stopped 21 shots for Toronto's team.

Detroit saw Dylan Larkin score, while Cam Talbot made 17 saves during the game.

Marner is currently on a seven-game point streak, having scored a goal and delivered 10 assists.

The Maple Leafs played without Auston Matthews, who was added to the injured reserve list prior to the match.

Marner initiated scoring on a power play in the first period. Larkin equalized for Detroit with a power-play goal in the second period, but Tavares put Toronto back in front with a power-play goal nearly two minutes later.

Regarding takeaways, Dylan Larkin, with nine goals, leads the Detroit team this season. The Maple Leafs have achieved a 37-19-2 record in regular season games without Matthews.

The key moment happened when Tavares ended the 1-1 draw during a second-period power play, marking his sixth goal of the season.

A significant stat is that the Maple Leafs have successfully scored on six of their last 10 power-play opportunities.

For upcoming games, the Maple Leafs will face Montreal at home on Saturday, while the Red Wings will play host to the New York Rangers.
