DETROIT \u2013 Wrapping up their 2025-26 preseason schedule, the Detroit Red Wings erased a pair of two-goal deficits to earn a 6-5 overtime victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was happy with the execution of camp,\u201d Detroit head coach Todd McLellan said. \u201cThe timing and the way it laid out. I thought the staff \u2013 training, medical, video, everybody — did an outstanding job. New coaching staff comes in, it\u2019s not easy. No one\u2019s been through it before, and we have really good people back there that make it run smoothly. Players did their thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bonding part of it, I think, has been real good. It\u2019s carried over from Traverse City and Grand Rapids to Detroit now. The ability to get back to some structural things, as a team, has existed. Now, we really have to polish things up.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for how Saturday’s clash transpired, the Red Wings took a 1-0 not long after the halfway mark of the first period when Michael Brandsegg-Nyg\u00e5rd finished a slick cross-crease pass from J.T. Compher at 11:08. A secondary assist was credited to Simon Edvinsson, who was playing in his second straight exhibition contest after missing the start of Training Camp because of a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DETROIT \u2013 Wrapping up their 2025-26 preseason schedule, the Detroit Red Wings erased a pair of two-goal deficits…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-191228","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
