Two Original Six rivals lock horns on Saturday night, as the Detroit Red Wings get set to play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Red Wings are looking to forget how the 2025-26 season began. In the team’s home opener on Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens, Detroit scored first, but that was the only time fans had something to cheer about. The Canadiens scored five unanswered goals to grab their first win of the season, leading to many around Hockeytown already questioning their team’s legitimacy.
The Red Wings take on a Maple Leafs team that is poised to make another run to the postseason, despite some personnel changes. Gone is the dynamic playmaker Mitch Marner, but Auston Matthews, William Nylander and John Tavares lead a talented core into the new campaign.
The Leafs beat Montreal in their home opener on Wednesday.

When: Saturday, October 11
