After picking up a feed from Kadri

BOSTON — The Detroit Red Wings have scored nine goals in four games in their worst start since 1980.The Bruins‘ line of Patrice Bergeron Womens Sean Couturier Jersey , Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak have scored 10 goals on their own during their team’s three-game winning streak.The rebuilding Red Wings, whose 0-2-2 start is the franchise’s worst since going 0-5 in 1980, visit the Bruins Saturday looking for that elusive first win.Article continues below ...It’s not as easy task.The Bruins, embarrassed 7-0 in their season opener at Washington, have outscored their opponents 14-4 in their last three, capped by Thursday night’s 4-1 home victory over the Edmonton Oilers.“Special teams were good, obviously makes a difference. We got a couple on our power play. Discipline was good. Team defense was good. We used our whole bench, our backup goalie, so everyone was contributing,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said after the win over Edmonton in the second game of a three-game homestand.That “backup goalie” was Jaroslav Halak, who has allowed one goal — a breakaway by Connor McDavid that gave Edmonton a 1-0 lead — in his two starts as a Bruin.Halak will not be in goal Saturday, with Tuukka Rask back as the starter in a game originally scheduled to be played at night but moved to 3 p.m. because of the Red Sox’s home playoff game at 8 p.m.Rask http://www.officialflyersproshop.com/authentic-adidas-shayne-gostisbehere-jersey , the goaltender Bruins fans love to hate, has struggled out of the gate. He was shelled in 27 minutes at Washington, then gave up three goals and had two shots hit pipes, in his win over the Ottawa Senators earlier this week.Bergeron has five goals and three assists, Marchand a goal and seven assists and Pastrnak has four goals and two assists in the last three games.“That top line has done a great job,” said Detroit coach Jeff Blashill. “I thought in our building last year, we did a real good job, kept them off the board until about 30 seconds left and then they scored to tie it and they were part of the game winner in overtime. We got to do a good job obviously checking that group, but as a group, as a whole, we just got to make sure we play great hockey.”Rask is 12-5-2 with a 2.58 goals-against average, .903 save percentage and one shutout lifetime against the Red Wings Travis Konecny Jersey , who have lost 10 straight games, counting playoffs, at TD Garden.The Red Wings lost, at home, to Toronto Thursday night despite the return from injury of defenseman Niklas Kronwall and the first two goals of the season by defenseman Nick Jensen.“Well, we didn’t get the win. That was the most important thing,” said Kronwall, who played his first game of the season. “I thought in bits and pieces of the game we did a lot of good things. But when we’re not doing it right, we’re not as good. Second period I thought we let ourselves down. Way too many turnovers. And it started with my mistake on their second goal.“We didn’t respond very well after that. And in the third we got playing again, playing with more desperation and that’s the way we have to play. I thought in the first period we did a lot of good things. But we’ve got to find a way to create a little more offense. And we gave up way too many easy chances.”Goaltender Jimmy Howard was the loser Thursday, falling to 0-1-2 with a 2.90 goals-against average and .910 save percentage this season. He is 5-6-3 with a 2.56 goals-against average and .921 save percentage lifetime against the Bruins.Fellow veteran Jonathan Bernier, who has lost his only start of the season Adam Cracknell Jersey Womens , is 5-5-0 with a 3.33 goals-against average and .901 save percentage in his career against the Bruins.Detroit, banged up and also dealing with a virus that has kept Mike Green out from the start, will again be missing, among others, Dennis Cholowski, out with an upper body injury.The Wings complete a two-game road trip at Montreal Monday night, while the Bruins open a four-game trip in Calgary Wednesday. TORONTO (AP) Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock acknowledged his team didn’t play very well Thursday night, and his players know things could become much more difficult if they have to deal with another injury absence for Auston Matthews.Tyler Bozak scored the shootout winner in the first round and Toronto squeezed out a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders after Matthews left the game. He tipped in Jake Gardiner’s shot to tie it 3-all with 3:29 remaining in the third period, but exited with 1:06 to go in regulation favoring his right shoulder after being sandwiched by Adam Pelech and Cal Clutterbuck.Matthews did not return. The 20-year-old Toronto star missed six games in December with a concussion as the Maple Leafs went 2-4 without him. He sat out four games in November with an undisclosed upper-body injury.”Clearly he’s a big part of our team and going down the stretch we’re going to need him, so hopefully it’s not too bad,” teammate Nazem Kadri said.Babcock didn’t give much of an update and said the club would know more about Matthews’ status on Friday at practice.Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly had the other Maple Leafs goals, and Frederik Andersen made 32 saves. Toronto (38-20-5) has won eight straight at home for the first time since the 2006-07 season.”Obviously Wayne Simmonds Jersey , we weren’t very good,” Babcock said. ”Anybody who watches us regularly knows that we weren’t that good. Saw it coming yesterday in practice, talked about it then and our preparation wasn’t good enough.”Bozak beat Jaroslav Halak high blocker side for his third game-deciding shootout goal of the season. Bozak is tied for the NHL lead in shootout winners.”He is unbelievable at it. I mean, he always talks and jokes about it, how good he was back in the day, and he still hasn’t lost that touch,” Marner said. ”He’s been great for us in that category, but I mean, I think we’ve got to stop going that route. Thankfully we have him or else we might be in trouble.”Ryan Pulock, Mathew Barzal and Jordan Eberle scored for the Islanders (29-26-7), and Halak turned aside 28 shots. New York, tied with Columbus for the second Eastern Conference wild card Womens Bryan Rust Jersey , dropped to 4-6-2 since the All-Star break and 13-15-3 on the road this season.With his three points, Barzal has a team-leading 65 and a 14-point lead over Brock Boeser of the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL’s rookie scoring race.Barzal has eight games with three or more points this season, one shy of Bryan Trottier’s franchise rookie record.”It’s unfortunate we couldn’t score (in overtime). It’s unfortunate to lose that extra point,” Barzal said.”We weren’t shy to push the pace early. (Clutterbuck) and (Casey Cizikas) finishing checks early kind of set the tone for the rest of us. I thought we played a pretty good game.”Pulock opened the scoring at 8:39 of the first period, one-timing Thomas Hickey’s feed past Andersen, who appeared out of position on the play after Eberle bumped into him. Barzal picked up the secondary assist.The Islanders’ rookie then doubled New York’s lead, backhanding the rebound of Anthony Beauvillier’s shot past Andersen for his 13th goal at 11:48.Marner got the Maple Leafs on the board at 17:39. After picking up a feed from Kadri, he showed patience while waiting for Halak to make the first move and then beat the goaltender between the pads for his 15th of the season. The goal gave Marner 10 in his last 16 games.Moments after the Islanders hit the post twice, Rielly tied it at 2 after taking Connor Brown’s pass and beating Halak high on the glove side for his sixth of the season at 1:28 of the third.New York responded 99 seconds later as Eberle’s centering pass redirected off Nikita Zaitsev’s skate and past Andersen. Barzal got the primary assist on Eberle’s 21st of the season.NOTES: Kadri’s first-period assist was the 300th point of his NHL career. He became the 35th player in Maple Leafs history to reach 300 points with the club.UP NEXTIslanders: At the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night.Maple Leafs: Conclude their three-game homestand against Boston on Saturday.—
