Kindl Scores OT Winner As Red Wings Beat Maple Leafs, 2-1
TORONTO (AP) — Jakub Kindl scored 2:17 into overtime, Henrik Zetterberg scored his 300th career goal and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Friday night for their third straight win.
Kindl was able to skate in down the middle and beat James Reimer over the blocker for his second goal of the season.
Dion Phaneuf scored for Toronto. The Leafs have just one win in seven games this season at Air Canada Centre.
Petr Mrazek made 32 saves for Detroit, and Reimer stopped 22 shots.
The Wings went 0 for 3 on the power play while the Leafs failed to score on four chances with the man advantage.
Zetterberg opened the scoring with 3:39 to play in the first on an apparently harmless wrist shot taken from just inside the blue line. It fooled Reimer blocker side for Zetterberg's fourth goal this season.
