DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings lost a decent chunk of goal-scoring in the offseason, but they didn’t expect to struggle for offense on Thursday.

The Red Wings, with nearly their entire regular lineup, didn’t muster a goal against a Toronto team that didn’t travel with its top talent, getting shut out 2-0 in a preseason game at Little Caesars Arena.

Anthony Stolarz made 30 saves for Toronto (3-1-1) and Nicholas Robertson scored a pair of goals.

Cam Talbot went the distance for Detroit (3-2-1), stopping 23 shots.

The Red Wings went 0 for 4 on the power play. Robertson opened the scoring on the power play at 17:54 of the first and added to the lead with 5:26 remaining in the third.

Second-line center J.T. Compher and third-pair defenseman Erik Gustafsson were the only regular skaters who didn’t dress for Detroit.

None of the Leafs’ big four forwards (Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares) dressed.

The Red Wings host the Ottawa Senators on Friday (7 p.m., Bally Sports Detroit) before wrapping up the preseason Saturday in Toronto (7 p.m.).
