Detroit's Swedish players were involved in all of the Red Wings' goals when Toronto was defeated in the NHL last night. Perhaps the Maple Leafs needed William Nylander, who was injured in the previous game.

Simon Edvinsson became the hero of the match when he scored the decisive 3-2 overtime goal for Detroit. The goal came after a failed clearance by Toronto's Swedish goalkeeper, Dennis Hildeby, who made 33 saves.

Detroit's Swedish players were otherwise involved in much of the offense. Moritz Seider's 1–1 goal was set up by fellow player already selected for the Olympics, Lucas Raymond, and Albert Johansson was credited with the assist on the 2–2 goal.

Toronto star forward William Nylander was injured in last night's game against Ottawa, and did not play against Detroit. Nylander, who is also already selected for the Olympics, is expected to return to action in the relatively near future and his injury status is being evaluated on an ongoing basis, reports CBS .
