Here's how the Detroit Red Wings will line up for Tuesday's game against the Boston Bruins after losing the first of back-to-back games between the two teams.
Over the weekend, the Detroit Red Wings extended their losing streak to four games with a 3-2 shootout loss to the Boston Bruins.
Todd McLellan's team will have an opportunity to bounce back on Tuesday as they host the same Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena.
After Saturday's loss, Wings head coach Todd McLellan opened up on what his team has to do better to beat the Bruins:
"First of all, you have to give them (the Bruins) credit for their penalty kill. We had some opportunities, Ras (Michael Rasmussen) was alone net-front, Copper (Andrew Copp had an opportunity in close), they seemed to get a stick on it or a deflection or tip away from the net. They did a good job of slowing us down enough to get into shooting lanes and taking away the Grade A (chances).
When that happens (taking away prime scoring chances) you have to rely on a Grade B type of game, where it's a deflection or tip-in or rebound. I'm not sure we wanted to go there (Saturday)."
