Detroit Red Wings vs. Boston Bruins Game Preview: Red Wings Struggle with Goalie Issues while Bruins Offense Thrives
The Boston Bruins brought their A-game against the Canadiens, scoring six goals in a convincing 6-3 win. This marked their second high-scoring victory over Montreal this season, a welcome change after a series of low-scoring games. Since parting ways with coach Jim Montgomery, the Bruins have shown improvement, winning four of their last six games and keeping opponents to three goals or less.
“It’s been a tough year, but we’re hoping to turn things around,” said Charlie McAvoy, reflecting on the team’s recent success. “Hard work has been key for us, and it’s something we can control every night.”
The Red Wings, coming off back-to-back losses, face their own challenges with injuries to their goalies. Starter Cam Talbot left Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury, and his backup, Alex Lyon, is also sidelined. This leaves Ville Husso and Sebastian Cossa to take the net in the upcoming games.
Excitement is building as the Bruins prepare to face the Red Wings at TD Garden. The game will be broadcast exclusively on Hulu and ESPN+ at 7 p.m. Boston is favored to win with a line of -200 and an over/under of 5.5 goals. This match-up pits two teams with struggling special teams, as both the Bruins’ power play and the Red Wings’ penalty kill rank last in the league.
Keep an eye out for key players like Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, who have been standout performers for the Red Wings this season. With both teams hungry for a win, this game promises to be an exciting showdown on the ice.
