The sight of 6-foot-6 Simon Edvinsson sprawled on the ice was something else. Then he added an OT goal for the Detroit Red Wings

DETROIT – The Toronto Maple Leafs tormented the Detroit Red Wings not too long ago, but the tide is turning. The Red Wings defeated the Leafs 3-2 Sunday on Simon Edvinsson’s overtime goal to improve to 3-0 against their longtime Original Six rival this season. They meet once more, Jan. 21 in Toronto.

Detroit Red Wings 2025 first round pick Carter Bear is expected to make World Juniors debut for Team Canada Monday versus Denmark.

The Red Wings' 3-2 overtime victory over the Maple Leafs was their 11th comeback win this season, and raised their record to 7-2 in overtime.

“There’s a need for it (fighting), but the actual staged part of it, I’m not a fan of that,” Red Wings coach Todd McLellan said. “I was never a fan of that. It’s entertaining, I guess, for people. But the overall policing of the game, that’s important.”

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson earned a ton of respect for his gutsy performance against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

There was plenty of opportunity to spend valuable time with family, getting away from the daily grind of professional sports, and recharging for the season ahead.
