Detroit — The Red Wings continue to be in a post holiday fog. They lost their second consecutive game coming out of the lengthy holiday and COVID-19 protocol break Sunday, 5-1, to the Boston Bruins. The Wings opened the scoring, then saw the Bruins take gradual control, enabling Boston to leapfrog past the Wings in the
The Detroit Red Wings kicked off 2022 with a matinee matchup with the Boston Bruins. It also happened to be one of the first January games in a long while where Detroit was being mentioned in a potential playoff spot. Tyler Bertuzzi scored his 13th goal of the season, but it wasn’t enough as the
