STOCKHOLM (AP): John Tavares scored the go-ahead goal and the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied from two goals down to beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Friday night as the NHL’s Global Series continued in the Swedish capital.

William Nylander scored the tying goal and Tyler Bertuzzi also scored for the Maple Leafs, who trailed 2-0 after two periods.

Nylander also had two assists and extended his franchise-record season-opening point streak to 16 games. His 11 goals and 14 assists led the Maple Leafs, who played for the first time outside North America, to win their third straight game overall. Ilya Samsonov stopped 27 shots for Toronto.

Daniel Sprong scored on a penalty shot midway through the second period and Lucas Raymond of Sweden scored less than two minutes later for the Red Wings, who fell to 1-2-2 in their last five.

The game was the second of four over four days in Stockholm. Ottawa beat Detroit on Thursday at Avicii Arena, and the Minnesota Wild will play the Senators on Saturday and the Maple Leafs on Sunday in the first four-team series outside North America. The games are the first for the NHL in Sweden since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Maple Leafs went on attack in the final period, outshooting the Red Wings 15-10.

Nylander netted a snap shot from the slot on a power play with 6:57 remaining to tie the game and delight the fans. The Swedish citizen was born in Calgary, Alberta, while his dad, Michael, played for the Flames.

Tavares snapped in a cross-crease pass from Bertuzzi with 5:33 to go.

Alex Lyon stopped 26 shots for Detroit in his first start of the season. His most recent start was for the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of last season’s Stanley Cup Final, a 7-2 loss to eventual champion Vegas.

The Red Wings fell to 0-4 all-time in Sweden; they were swept by St. Louis in a two-game series in Stockholm in 2009.

Morgan Rielly was penalized in the second period for covering the puck with his hand in the crease, leading to Sprong’s successful penalty shot.

Raymond continued a productive homecoming when he converted a snap shot from the left circle. He also scored the Red Wings’ opening goal on Thursday.
