TORONTO (AP) — Auston Matthews scored two goals to reach 60 for the season as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Detroit Red Wings 3-0 to clinch home-ice advantage in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

John Tavares had the other goal and Jack Campbell made 20 saves to register his fifth shutout of the season for Toronto (53-21-7), which set a franchise record with its 30th home victory of the season.
William Nylander added two assists.
Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 33 shots for Detroit (31-40-10).
