That’s what good teams do. It’s not perfect every night.”NOTES: Bernier played three seasons with the Leafs from 2013 to 2016. … Detroit center Andreas Athanasiou (upper-body injury) missed his second straight game. … Red Wings defenseman Trevor Daley played the 1,000th game of his NHL career.UP NEXTRed Wings: Host Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.Maple Leafs: At Columbus on Friday.
