Winning Streaks on Line
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings have both won four of their last five games. The Maple Leafs have won three games in a row while the Red Wings are riding a four-game winning streak. However, the Maple Leafs’ wins are more impressive when considering the competition.
The Maple Leafs ended New Jersey’s unreal winning streak and defeated Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Buffalo while losing in overtime to the New York Islanders in their last five games. Conversely, the Red Wings have built their winning streak by beating San Jose, Columbus, a good Nashville team and the Arizona Coyotes.

Maple Leafs Impressive
Not only is the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ strength of competition during this winning streak impressive, but so too are the injury issues they’ve been dealing with all season. Half of the Maple Leafs’ top-six defensemen and early-season standout in net Ilya Samsonov are all on the injured reserve list, but Toronto is still winning games.
The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.00 goals per game on 30.7 shots while averaging 2.57 goals against on 28.3 shots. The Leafs’ power play has converted on 24.3 percent of their chances (18 power-play goals), while the penalty kill has been a weak point giving up 16 goals against (78.4% efficiency).
Mitchell Marner is on a heater and leads the Maple Leafs in scoring with 27 points (six goals, 21 assists).
We expect Matt Murray to get the start for Toronto as Erik Kallgren started their last matchup – a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Murray has a 4-1-1 record with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage.

How Improved are Red Wings?
We know that the Detroit Red Wings are an improved hockey team, but how improved are they?
While their season has been very good, we’ve seen them struggle against varying competition levels. However, the Detroit Red Wings will make it a difficult night for any team. Toronto represents a chance to measure the 2022-23 Red Wings against a team with the playoffs firmly in their future.
The Red Wings are averaging 3.25 goals on 29.3 shots while averaging 3.00 goals against on 31.2 shots. The Red Wings’ power play has very similar stats to the Maple Leafs, scoring 17 power-play goals and converting 23.3% of their opportunities. Detroit’s penalty killers have been better than Toronto’s, killing 82% of Detroit’s penalties (11 power-play goals against).
We’re not sure who starts for the Red Wings, but Ville Husso has played the last five games in a row. We think Husso gives the Red Wings the best chance to defeat the Maple Leafs. Husso has a 9-2-3 record with a 2.39 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage.
However, the Red Wings goalie situation is more complicated as Detroit is carrying three netminders on its NHL roster. So, we’re not sure if Alex Nedeljkovic or Magnus Hellberg will get the start if the Red Wings don’t start Husso. Our picks change depending on who the Red Wings are starting.
