When you allow only two goals at home and have four power plays, you should win the game, as Detroit Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde duly noted. But nothing comes easy for this team, scoring goals, and especially winning.

It cost them, as Brad Marchand snapped a tie with 8:30 remaining and the Boston Bruins prevailed 2-1 at Little Caesars Arena. Boston outshot Detroit 14-4 in the third, when the Red Wings had difficult getting the puck out of their zone.
