Red Wings Allow 48 SOGs, Can’t Get Past Bruins
The Red Wings faced off against Boston tonight, missing key players Dylan Larkin and Tomas Vanek.
First Period
The Wings got off to a bad start with two early chances by Boston and a Kronwall penalty within the first minute. They managed to kill the penalty off, but only minutes after the Bruins’ heavy forecheck led to a turnover by Sheahan and a goal by Kevan Miller. Sadly, getting a quick start was a significant key to the game and to holding the Bruins off.
The Red Wings failed to register their first shot on goal until 11 minutes into the period....BUUUUT that’s all they needed to get a goal! Athanasiou received an incredible cross ice feed from Green and did not disappoint.
