The Boston Bruins have been absolutely dominant this NHL season, shattering record after record. After losing their ten-game winning streak against the Oilers on Friday night, the club is back on fire to resume their winning streak again. The Bruins defeated the Detroit Red Wings, 3–2, in Boston’s TD Garden. Their victory ensured their spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and with 105 points, they now top the Eastern Conference.

Yet, the Red Wings got off to a good start, as forward Andrew Copp scored the game’s opening goal in the second minute of the first period. After three minutes, Alex Chiasson of the Red Wings scored the game’s second goal, and the rest of the period was scoreless for both sides.
