"Monday has the potential to be a great sports day in Toronto as the Toronto Blue Jays will host Game 2 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners with a 5 PM EST start time. However, prior to that, the Toronto Maple Leafs will be skating against the Detroit Red Wings with a 2 PM start, which was moved up to avoid any conflict with the Blue Jays game."
"The Maple Leafs jumped out to a two-goal lead after one period, but the Red Wings responded with three straight in the second period. It wasn't all lost as Max Domi was able to tie it up with a goal early in the third period before the Red Wings once again had three straight goals, including two empty net goals, to win 6-3."
"John Tavares opened the regular season on a high note with a two-point game against the Montreal Canadiens. However, in the game against the Red Wings, the veteran forward really struggled and had the worst On-Ice xGoals Against of any Maple Leafs player at 2.27. He is still searching for that first goal this season and if he can do it against Detroit, it will be a boost for this Maple Leafs team."
The Maple Leafs' game was moved to 2 PM to avoid conflicting with the Blue Jays' 5 PM ALCS Game 2. Toronto led the Red Wings by two after one period but surrendered three straight goals in the second. Max Domi tied the game early in the third before Detroit scored three consecutive goals, including two empty-netters, to win 6-3. John Tavares struggled and recorded the worst On-Ice xGoals Against at 2.27 while still seeking his first goal of the season. Auston Matthews had only one shot on goal and one high-danger chance in the loss. Both players are positioned to rebound in the upcoming matchup.
