Whether it’s from a concerted effort to shoot more from the point or joining the rush when opportunities arise, the Red Wings hope to get more offense from their defense.

The NHL has handed out a fine to a Detroit Red Wings forward following a violent incident against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Whether it was the preventable go-ahead goal with 17 seconds left in the second period or the immediate back-breaker after the Toronto Maple Leafs tied it up at two, Saturday night’s 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings looked a lot closer to a game you’d get from the Leafs of three years ago rather than the Leafs of this season so far.

Craig Berube will remember his 200 th regulation loss as an NHL coach as one of his most frustrating. Certainly the 4-2 fail to the low-scoring Detroit Red Wings was among his hardest to swallow in a short time behind the Maple Leafs bench.
