Detroit at Boston

Detroit has been outscored by -16 goals this season and is riding a two-game skid. Detroit has lost 7-of-11 and ranks #23 in goals scored, and last on the power play at #23 in goals allowed. The Red Wings lost two forwards -- Dylan Larkin (upper body) and Thomas Vanek (lower) to injuries in Sunday's 1-0 overtime loss to the New York Rangers. Neither will play Tuesday and Steve Ott is out with a shoulder injury, back at practice but not 100%. Boston is strong on defense at #10 in goals allowed, and second in penalty killing. The Red Wings are 3-12 against Boston, including six straight defeats in this arena, so back the home team and play Boston.
