Red Wings Youth Powers through Maple Leafs

The Detroit Red Wings’ prospects ran through the Maple Leafs despite playing against Toronto starting Goalie James Reimer. Detroit’s special teams made the difference, scoring 2 power play goals on 9 occasions, while turning away 9 attempts by the Leafs’ PP. Defensive prospect Nick Jensen continued to impress, opening the game’s scoring with a power-play goal in the second period, a one-timer off a great pass from Andrej Nestrasil. The power-play continued to function in the third period as young Centerman Riley Sheehan put in a rebound of defenseman’s Ryan Sproul’s shot. Goalie Petr Mrazek, slated to start the season in the AHL, was impressive with a shutout on 27 shots on net. Coach Mike Babcock was certainly impressed with his Goalie’s performance, stating: ``Your best penalty killer is your goaltender and I thought he was really good, solid, good plays with the puck; He gave us an opportunity``. The regular season cannot come any time sooner! Go Wings!
