Maple Leafs set to encounter familiar face

Tim Wharnsby

When the Maple Leafs suit up against the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Friday evening, they will see a familiar face across the ice wearing the winged wheel. Former Toronto forward Brad May, who joined the Red Wings on a tryout basis on Wednesday, will line up for Detroit against the Maple Leafs in his first exhibition game for Detroit. The left wing will play on the fourth line with former Toronto forward Kris Newbury and Francis Pare.
