Pregame: Red Wings @ Boston – Game 2 – 4/20

351

11 years ago

After a 1-0 win in Game One on Friday, the Red Wings can take a stranglehold on their Atlantic Division Semifinal series with the Boston Bruins today, as a win would send them back to Detroit holding a 2-0 series lead.

Boston will have the services of Milan Lucic, who was not suspended by the NHL for his spear between the legs of Danny DeKeyser in the first period of Game One.

Stupid stat of the day: The Red Wings are 7-5-1 all-time in the playoffs on Easter Sunday. That drops to 2-5-0 when the game is on the road, so all five of Detroit’s Easter playoff losses were road games.

Game time is 3:00 PM on NBC.
