The Detroit Red Wings face a difficult task in attempting to defeat the Boston Bruins this evening (7:30 PM EST on FSD/NESN/Sportsnet/TVA Sports/97.1 FM). The surging Bruins have a 12-1-and-1 record against the Red Wings, and Tuukka Rask, tonight’s starter, is on a 16-0-and-2 run.
The Wings took to the ice at Little Caesars Arena just after 10:30 AM for their morning skate, as noted by Fox 2’s Sky Kerstein…
