On paper, this seems to be a favorable matchup for the Bruins. Whether they can mark off another ‘w’ against a team in the lower tier of the Eastern Conference standings, however, is anyone’s guess at this point.
Fresh off another embarrassing loss to the Islanders at TD Garden and with a day to recuperate, the Bruins head to Joe Louis Arena for the final time in the regular season when they face a Red Wings team in transition.
Though they are fresh off winning two straight, the Wings sit 14th in the East but trail the Black and Gold by seven points with three games in hand.
