In front of a near-capacity crowd at Little Caesars Arena, the Detroit Red Wings displayed an impressive offensive effort against the Boston Bruins.

Their resilience was on full display as they managed to fire off 30 shots throughout the game.

Their sole powerplay goal came amidst eleven shots taken during man advantages.
