Mikheyev And Timashov Helps Leafs Snap Losing Streak

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a really good performance last night as the team defeated the Detroit Red Wings 5-2.

The stars of the game were on the third and fourth line.

"They, (the two lines), were good," said Leaf's head coach, Mike Babcock at the post game press conference.

The third and fourth line provided the offense for the Leafs.

Nick Shore, Ilya Mikheyev, Alexander Kerfoot, Jake Muzzin, and Trevor Moore scored for Toronto.

Mikheyev finished the night with two points.

Mikheyev skated around Detroit's goalie, Jimmy Howard, who left his crease to play the puck, and scored into the empty net with just 30 seconds to go in the second period.

Trevor Moore scored an empty-netter at 17:47 of the third period.
