Boston shut out Utah 1-0 in interim coach Joe Sacco's debut, and the Bruins will look to continue this new lease on life tonight against underperforming Detroit. The Red Wings did get a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday, but they still have lost five of seven, and they are 0-4 in their past four games playing with one day of rest. Cam Talbot will start in net for Detroit, and he has lost his past two appearances, including allowing all five goals in a 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose on Monday. The Red Wings have won just four of nine home games. Sacco already has Boston improving on the defensive side after Thursday's performance. Take the Bruins.
