|
| |  | DETROIT: LAST SEASON: 39-28-15, 93 points. Lost in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Mike Babcock, 10th season with Red Wings, 415-198-91; 12th overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Andy Miele, C Kevin Porter.
LOST: RW Mikael Samuelsson, C Cory Emmerton, C David Legwand, RW Todd Bertuzzi.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Gustav Nyquist. The 25-year-old Swede is coming off a breakout season in which he scored a team-high 28 goals in only 57 games. If the Red Wings are going to return to the NHL's elite, they're going to need younger players like Nyquist to grow into significant roles alongside aging stars like Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk.
OUTLOOK: If injuries mount like last season, the Red Wings may have to fight down the stretch to extend their streak of 23 straight playoff appearances. Datsyuk is expected to miss the start of the regular season with a separated shoulder. | | BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 54-19-9, 117 points, most in the NHL. Lost to Montreal Canadiens in second round of playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien, eighth season in Boston (310-165-65); 12th overall in NHL.
ADDED: F Simon Gagne, G Niklas Svedberg.
LOST: F Jarome Iginla, F Shawn Thornton, G Chad Johnson.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Defenseman Zdeno Chara is 37, and it's not clear how long his 6-foot-9 body can hold up. He played in 77 games, but had the least time on the ice (in a non-lockout season) since his arrival in Boston in 2006, and his fewest points and penalty minutes as a Bruin, too. He finished the season with a broken finger. Still, he was a finalist for the Norris Trophy, which he won in 2009.
OUTLOOK: After winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 and returning to the finals two seasons later, the Bruins posted the NHL's best record last season but were knocked out of the playoffs by the rival Canadiens in seven games in the second round. The Bruins return essentially the same team, including Selke Trophy winner Patrice Bergeron and Vezina winner Tuukka Rask, who led the league with seven shutouts, finished second with a .930 save percentage and was fourth with a 2.03 goals-against average. |

*Red Wings-Bruins Preview* ==========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Detroit (19-8-9) at Boston (18-15-3), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Gustav Nyquist leads the Detroit Red Wings in goals, and his latest was perhaps the most memorable this season by anyone.
Nyquist will try to help the Red Wings to a third consecutive win by scoring in a fifth straight meeting against the slumping Boston Bruins on Monday night.
Nyquist led Detroit with a career-high 28 goals in only 57 games in 2013-14, and he's on pace to surpass that total with 15 in 36 contests this season.
His latest was by far his most memorable, beating Ottawa's Craig Anderson with 47.6 seconds left in overtime to lift the Red Wings (19-8-9) to a 3-2 win Saturday. Nyquist stick-handled his way around the Senators' zone for nearly 30 seconds, circling the net three times before scoring from the slot to complete a highlight-reel sequence.
"You know you have a little bit more space out there on four-on-four and the other guys did a good job creating space for me and I had a good screen in front," Nyquist said. "It's tough to defend when you have a lot of room and you can protect (the puck) on the outside. I just tried to hold on to it as long as possible to get a good shot off and it worked."
The goal came four days after Nyquist had three assists to help Detroit beat Buffalo 6-3 and end a six-game slide (0-2-4).
He may be vital again against the Bruins (18-15-3), as he's scored a goal in each of his four career meetings, helping Detroit to a 3-0-1 mark in those games.
Nyquist's third-period goal forced overtime and a shootout in the most recent meeting Oct. 15, but he missed his attempt in the tiebreaker in a 3-2 loss.
Detroit has dropped seven of eight games that have gone to shootouts this season, and Nyquist has missed on five of his eight chances.
He's been much more effective on the power play, scoring a team-high eight goals and tallying five of his eight assists. The Red Wings' 33 power-play goals lead the league, and they've gone 6 for 13 over the past three games.
Henrik Zetterberg has six points in four games with half coming on the man advantage - including a goal at Ottawa. The captain has four goals and five assists in his last five visits to Boston.
Detroit is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games against the Bruins, winning three of four at TD Garden.
Boston is struggling defensively during a 4-6-2 stretch, surrendering an average of 3.1 goals compared to 2.4 over the first 24 games. The Bruins had one of their worst performances of the season Saturday, falling 6-2 at Columbus.
"We have proven goals scorers on this team. We have proven All-Stars on this team," said center Chris Kelly, who has six points in six games. "It's not talent that's keeping us from succeeding. It's just a lot of the little things; winning your battles, paying attention to details on a consistent basis."
Tuukka Rask, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, has a 3.10 goals-against average with a 3-4-2 record in his last 10 games. He allowed three goals on 15 shots Saturday after replacing Niklas Svedberg, who did the same and was pulled early in the second period.
Rask is 2-5-1 with a 3.10 GAA against Detroit, but made 18 saves and turned aside both shootout attempts Oct. 15.
