DETROIT - Mike Santorelli scored Toronto's second shootout goal, and the Maple Leafs beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Tyler Bozak also had a shootout goal for Toronto. Pavel Datsyuk netted the lone goal for the Red Wings in the tiebreaker.

Detroit broke a scoreless tie late in the second period when Tomas Jurco flicked a rebound of his shot to Gustav Nyquist, who spun and wristed the puck past prone goalie James Reimer.

Toronto made it 1-1 early in the third when Phil Kessel tapped in James van Riemsdyk's centring pass for his 15th goal.

Reimer made 41 saves. Howard stopped 18 shots.
