Disappointed with his play in Detroit's loss in its last game, Henrik Zetterberg came through in a big way against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Zetterberg had four assists and Johan Franzen scored twice to lead the Red Wings to a 4-1 victory over the Maple Leafs on Friday night.

Zetterberg managed just one shot on goal and was outworked on faceoffs by Boston's Patrice Bergeron in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins on Wednesday night.

"The way we played Wednesday in our house against Boston ... it could've been one of my worst games as a Red Wing," Zetterberg said. "It was a tough game and I didn't have much. It was nice to feel better today and bounce back a little bit."

Gustav Nyquist and Justin Abdelkader also scored and Jimmy Howard stopped 23 shots for Detroit.

Franzen left the game late in the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return. However, he expected to play Saturday when the teams complete the home-and-home series at Detroit.

"It just cramped up, the whole side, a really tight spasm," Franzen said. "It relaxed a little bit, I got out for the next shift and it just seized up on me. As soon as I pushed it just cramped up on me, so hopefully it goes away tomorrow."
