1. In Leafs' final appearance at Joe Louis, Wings take first lead of the night, carry it into first intermission. This game marked the Leafs' final appearance at legendary Joe Louis Arena, the 37-year-old rink that will close this summer and be replaced by Little Caesars Arena. Toronto has experienced both highs and lows in JLA, but they began this game on their heels, being outshot 16-9 in the first 20 minutes of action and falling behind 1-0 on a goal by Gustav Nyquist at the 14:50 mark.
The goal came through traffic and beat netminder Frederik Andersen, who didn't have anywhere close to a clean look at it. But, as the shot differential suggested, it could've been worse for the Leafs were it not for Andersen's typically sterling play. And that gave the Buds a chance to get back into it in the second, which they did in short order.
