The Toronto Maple Leafs are unbelievable this season.

With back up goalie, Curtis McElhinney in net for the Leafs last night, I really thought that Toronto was going to lose to the Detroit Red Wings.

Surprisingly, McElhinney was fantastic.

McElhinney stopped 30 shots last night.

It seems the Leafs have two solid goaltenders this year.

Good goaltending usually makes teams in the NHL successful.

Nazem Kadri opened the scoring at 5:56 of the first period.

Zach Hyman made it 2-0 Toronto at 6:39.

Henrik Zetterbergh closed the gap at 12:10.

Goals by Auston Matthews and Connor Brown put the Leafs ahead 4-1 at the end of the (first) period.

The Red Wings gave the Leafs a scare in the second period with goals by Tomas Tartar and Jonathan Ericsson.

Fortunately for the Leafs, Morgan Rielly scored Toronto's fifth goal of the game at 12:57 of the second period.

William Nylander added a goal in the third period for the Leafs.

The Leafs face the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
