The Red Wings continue to search for their first victory.
Saturday’s game in Boston wasn’t likely to be it, given the Wings’ lack of success there — or anywhere — against the Bruins in recent seasons.
So, the 8-2 defeat, which stretched the Wings’ winless streak to five games to open the season (0-3-2, two points) wasn’t surprising.
Filip Hronek (power play, first career NHL goal) and Dylan Larkin (shorthanded) scored for the Wings.
The Wings also lost defenseman Danny DeKeyser to an apparent hand injury after the first period, further weakening an already injury-riddled defense.
