Leafs lose to Red Wings with Marner, McCabe, Giordano rested for playoffs
Dylan Larkin scored three times to register the second hat trick of his career and Alex Nedeljkovic made 42 saves as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 on Sunday night.
Locked into a first-round playoff matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning and sitting in the Atlantic Division’s No. 2 spot, Toronto rested star winger Mitch Marner, along with defencemen Jake McCabe and Mark Giordano. Toronto centre David Kampf was then stopped on a penalty shot before Berggren fired his 14th upstairs on Murray off a broken play for a 2-1 lead.
Nedeljkovic made 14 saves in the middle period and then smothered a Tavares effort early in the third, but the Leafs captain tipped his 33rd past the Detroit netminder on a power play to cut the deficit to one. But Larkin found the empty net from his own end with 2:12 remaining and Nedeljkovic held the fort the rest of the way to secure his third straight victory after spending most of the season in the minors.
