Both teams missed power-play chances in the first period. The Red Wings took the lead at 9:07 when Petry fired a wrist shot from the right point that went past a screened Woll. Joe Veleno and Christian Fischer assisted on the goal.

 

The Maple Leafs seemed to tie the game with just under seven minutes left in the first period when Mitch Marner scored. However, the Red Wings challenged the play, and the goal was ruled offside.
