The Detroit Red Wings ended their season with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, relinquishing a two-goal lead and settling for a point. Despite a late goal by Chris Tanev, the Wings finished with a 39-35-8 record and 86 points, missing the playoffs. Alex DeBrincat scored his 39th goal of the season, with the Leafs' Philippe Myers and Scott Laughton contributing to the comeback.
The game saw goals from Austin Watson and Justin Holl for the Wings, countered by the Leafs' Mitch Marner, among others. Todd McLellan's goaltending decision saw Cam Talbot start over Petr Mrazek, acquired at the trade deadline for a future shared netminding role. The Wings closed the season on a 3-0-1 run, but the late collapse against the Maple Leafs left a bitter end to their campaign.
