Injury Report: Lucic and Savard are still out, blah, blah, blah.
It seems that the flu is running wild and free in Hockeytown; Ericsson, Kronwall, and Rafalski have all been stricken by it and are considered DTD. Franzen is still out after having surgery on his ACL, and Filppula is still nursing his wrist.
Preview Notes: Interesting original six match up here. Both of these teams are coming off of great 08-09 seasons and both are among the most inconsistant this year so far. Where the Bruins are struggling offensively, Detroit has had just as many problems in net. Notgood err...Osgood and Howard aren't exactly star goalies and they've proven to be the figurative thorn in the Red Wings' side.
A win tonight will keep the Bruins pattern alive.
