RECAP: Bruins drop Red Wings on strong first period, win 6-1

There was much to celebrate in this game. Read on to re-live it in all its goal-scoring glory. Rad Brad is legend.

First Period

The fourth line of Riley Nash, Tim Schaller and Dominic Moore got the start for this game and set a good forechecking tone on the first shift. On the line change, David Backes nearly capitalized on a turnover initiated by Nash and Moore at the end of the shift, but no luck. The Bruins had serious trouble clearing their own end, with barely any attacking time over the first 10 minutes of the period.
