Game notes: The Boston Bruins AGAIN?
The Wings and Bruins will face off for the fourth and final time of the season on Sunday, with all four division games taking place before the new year even begins.
After playing a real stinker in the first game against the Bruins this year on Oct. 28, a 4-1 loss, the Wings have fared well in this matchup They narrowly edged out a win against Boston, 5-4, on Nov. 4, and then beat them handidly on Nov. 24, 5-2. The game back on Nov. 4 was the first regulation loss the Bruins suffered all season. The Bruins proceeded to win five of their next seven games before again losing to the Wings.
The loss to the Wings was the first of a three game losing streak for Boston and the beginning of a frustrating run for the Bruins.
While the Bruins have not been playing their best hockey as of late, the same could be said of the Wings. Despite winning their last outing against the Nashville Predators, the Wings have won just three of their last 12 games. The team has been battling some key injuries over that span, including goaltender Ville Husso, who suffered a lower-body injury that led to him being placed on injured reserve, and captain Dylan Larkin, who got a head injury against the Ottawa Senators, amongst others.
Amidst the chaos, a new addition but familar name has shined. Since making his debut for the Red Wings on Dec. 7, Patrick Kane has six goals and seven assists, with many of those points coming right when the team needed them most. He also had the game-clinching shootout goal Dec. 22 against the Philadelphia Flyers. Kane has a six-game point streak, including two assists in the last game against the Predators.
He will certainly look to keep that going Sunday in his first game of the year against the Bruins.
