The Detroit Red Wings head to TD Garden tonight to play in a road game; the team owns a .540 point percentage and a record of 13-11-1.

With a record good enough for 5th in the Atlantic Division and an ongoing slump, the Detroit Red Wings desperately need a win.
The team has given up games to the Nashville Predators, Tampa Bay Lightning, and New Jersey Devils, allowing 16 goals in that period.
If they're to recover from this slump, they will have to earn a win against a broken Boston Bruins team, who will be with Pavel Zacha and David Pastrnak on their home ice in TD Garden.
The team will need not only Dylan Larkin (who has six goals in 10 games) and Lucas Raymond (four-point game streak) to lead the way towards a course correction.
Here are the projected lines for the Red Wings tonight at the Bruins:
Detroit Projected Lines

Emmitt Finnie - Dylan Larkin - Lucas Raymond

Alex DeBrincat - Marco Kasper - Patrick Kane

Elmer Soderblom - JT Compher - Mason Appleton

Nate Danielson - Andrew Copp - James van Riemsdyk

Defense Pairings

Simon Edvinssson - Moritz Seider

Ben Chiarot - Axel Sandin-Pellikka

The Detroit Red Wings are 13-11-1 and 5th in the Atlantic Division

The Red Wings' performance hasn't been great lately, and has caused coach Todd McLellan to hold his players accountable during the latest interview with an earned verbal accosting in the media.
They once held the 1st spot in the Atlantic Division but have collapsed as their goals allowed per game has risen to 3.44, while their power play is 12th in the NHL with a 22.5% conversion percentage, and their penalty kill is good enough for 29th, at 79.7%.
