WGD 66: Red Wings @ Bruins

Mar 6, 2018, 11:52 ESTUpdated: Mar 6, 2018, 12:51 EST
Highlighted by a world-class fight, the Red Wings lost to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night to round out a nice little 3-game losing streak.
Even with Dylan Larkin putting a total of 6 shots on goal, the Wings were unable to overcome Minnesota’s depth and loss a reasonably close game shot-wise. The Wings outshot the Wild 29-27 and still allowed 3 real goals and only got one off of an unlikely positional mistake by Dubnyk on a rebound.

THE RED WINGS
LW | C | RW |
The Wings change up the lines for tonight’s game against the Bruins. Bringing Tyler Bertuzzi up to play with Zetterberg and Nyquist will surely spark his offense and get him to be a contributing player. The three of them have only played 75 minutes together this season, but have a 5v5 CF% of 56.41. This leads the whole team in 5v5 CF% by a line that has played at least 50 minutes together. Bertuzzi has played his best hockey this season when he is on this line.
Mike Green‘s second game back since his trade deadline injury hopes to be a little bit better than the first aginst the Wild. Green had a demeaning 46.7 CF% on Sunday night and registered 2 shots on goal.
THE BRUINS
LW | C | RW |
These Bruins are still a scary team without two of their stars in Charlie McAvoy and Patrice Bergeron.
The deadline reinforcements are coming in handy for the Bruins – Tommy Wingels has 2 points in 2 games, Brian Gionta has 3 points in 2 games, Nick Holden has 2 points in 2 games and Rick Nash has 3 points in 4 games. That is some nice depth that the Bruins acquired to go into a hopefully long playoff run for these players.
On the blueline, the Bruins have only had two pairings not be above 50 5v5 CF% (min. 50 minutes) all season-long. That is some elite play by every single pairing the Bruins have had this season.
BETWEEN THE PIPES
Jared Coreau vs. Anton Khudobin
Tonight will be Coreau’s first start for the Wings since the call-up after Petr Mrazek was traded. The 26-year-old netminder has saved a comfortable .916% of shots in 36 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins this year. He was able to play 14 games with the Wings last year and posted a miserable .887 sv% doing so. So let’s hope for the best from Jared tonight and not to take an elbow to the head from Marchand.
With 140 NHL games under his belt, Khudobin is a reasonable backup to Finnish phenom Tuukka Rask. In 24 games this season for the Bruins, Khudobin has a .921 sv% and 1 shutout to his name. This will be his first time playing against the Red Wings since April 7th, 2015 when he started for the Carolina Hurricanes and saved 22/25 shots in a 3-2 win for the Wings. Pavel Datsyuk scored the game-winning goal…and now I’m sad.
