Mitchell Marner reached 500 career points with a second-period goal, and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the visiting Detroit Red Wings 4-1 Saturday night.

Marner, who added a third-period assist for his 501st career point, reached the milestone in his 467th game.

John Tavares added two goals and Pontus Holmberg scored once for the Maple Leafs, who finished a three-game homestand with a 1-1-1 record. Morgan Rielly added two assists.

Ilya Samsonov stopped 22 shots for Toronto.

Jake Walman scored for the Red Wings, who have lost three in a row. Magnus Hellberg made 25 saves.

Walman scored his third goal of the season at 11:57 of the first period with a 15-foot wrist shot on a breakaway.

Olli Maatta's stretch pass from the Detroit zone found Walman at the Toronto blue line after he had left the penalty box. Toronto's Auston Matthews, who had been penalized eight seconds after Walman had been sent to the penalty box, had just returned to the ice when Walman scored.

Detroit had an 8-2 edge in shots on goal after one period.

Marner scored his 15th goal at the 24-second mark of the second period during a power play. He went to one knee on his sharp-angle shot from below the left circle on a rebound off the end barrier from Matthews' wide shot. Jonatan Berggren was serving a crosschecking penalty that carried over from the first period.

Tavares scored his 17th goal at 6:37 of the second from the low slot, going from his backhand to his forehand. Calle Jarnkrok made a backhand saucer pass to Tavares after taking a quick outlet pass from Mark Giordano.

Detroit had an 18-14 advantage in shots on goal after two periods.

Hellberg made a big save on Matthews after a setup by Marner at 2:35 of the third period during a Toronto power play.

Holmberg tipped in Rielly's shot for his fourth goal of the season at 6:19 of the third to make it 3-1.

Tavares scored his 18th goal, an empty-netter, at 18:21 of the third with an assist from Marner.
