Hot Red Wings

Rookies Moritz Seider (25:29) and Lucas Raymond (20:05) both played over 20 minutes, almost all of it against Toronto’s best players and were even in Tuesday’s 3-0 loss to the Maple Leafs. Seider had six shots and three hits. Raymond finished with three shots.

Cold Red Wings

Defenseman Filip Hronek was minus-two in the loss at Toronto. He’s now a team-worst minus-31.
