The Toronto Maple Leafs did not play their best game in the opener of a home-and-home series against the rival Detroit Red Wings, but the Leafs have a chance to rebound in tonights rematch in the Motor City. Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys . Toronto hosted the Red Wings on Friday and dropped a 4-1 decision at Air Canada Centre. The setback halted the Leafs two-game winning streak, while Detroit snapped a two-game slide of its own with the victory. Johan Franzen scored twice and Henrik Zetterberg had four assists to lead the Red Wings in Fridays encounter. Zetterberg entered the game with just one assist on the season before breaking out with a four-point night against the Leafs. (Zetterberg) is the leader of our team and we expect him to be good, Detroit head coach Mike Babcock said. When hes not, we expect him to respond, and he did tonight. Gustav Nyquist continued his quick start to the season, scoring in his fourth straight game to begin 2014-15. He has four goals and one assist. Justin Abdelkader netted the other goal for Detroit, while Jimmy Howard made 23 saves in the win. Jonas Gustavsson will see his first action of the season on Saturday, as Howards backup expects to face his former team for the first time. Gustavsson spent three seasons with the Maple Leafs from 2009-10 to 2011-12. Red Wings placed goaltender Jimmy Howard on the 48-hour injured reserve with a sore groin. General manager Ken Holland made the announcement Saturday afternoon. Franzen, meanwhile, is questionable for the home-and-home finale after leaving Fridays tilt midway through the second period. The Swedish forward was unable to return after suffering leg spasms, but theres a chance he could be play tonight. Mike Santorelli supplied Torontos lone goal and James Reimer allowed all four goals on 35 shots in defeat. Extremely disappointed, Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle said. We played too much on our heels in the defensive zone. Jonathan Bernier will likely start in net for the Leafs tonight. He is 2-2-1 with a 3.06 goals against average in seven career games against Detroit. The Leafs will be without forward Brandon Kozun after the rookie suffered a lower-body injury in the second period of Fridays contest. Matt Frattin will replace Kozun in the lineup tonight. Detroits victory on Friday gives the club a three-game winning streak in this series. The Red Wings also have won four of five and five of the last seven meetings in this series. Although the Maple Leafs posted a victory in last seasons Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium, the Red Wings have claimed two in a row and four of the last five encounters at Joe Louis Arena.

But Im there.Joe Johnson scored 19, Brook Lopez added 16 and Mirza Teletovic had 14 for Brooklyn, which had won six of seven and was seeking to get back over .500 for the first time since Nov. 12.The Heat never trailed — and, because nothing comes easily to them anymore, still had to sweat out the ending. A nine-point Heat lead with 4:49 left was whittled to three, and the Nets actually had a chance to tie with just over a minute remaining but Teletovics 3-pointer rattled out.We couldnt stop Bosh. We couldnt stop Wade, Nets coach Lionel Hollins said. That was the reason we couldnt get any closer.Williams scored 13 and Mason Plumlee scored 12 for the Nets, who are 0-3 against Miami this season.I thought we fought hard, Johnson said.
