DETROIT-- The Toronto Maple Leafs are tied for second place in the Atlantic Division after a 5-4 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday.
The Maple Leafs (38-24-15) are tied with the Ottawa Senators, who lost 4-2 to the Winnipeg Jets, and one point ahead of the Boston Bruins, who defeated the Florida Panthers 5-2 and have played one more game.
"Obviously, we're all watching the standings, but there's nothing to say until we clinch a spot," Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. "We haven't done that yet."
