Red Wings top Bruins, end nine-game losing streak at TD Garden
Howard makes 38 saves, Nyquist has three points for Detroit...

BOSTON -- Jimmy Howard made 38 saves, Gustav Nyquist had a goal and two assists, and the Detroit Red Wings won on the road against the Boston Bruins for the first time in five years, 4-2 at TD Garden on Saturday.

The Red Wings (12-11-3) had lost their past nine regular-season games here since their last win Oct. 14, 2013 (0-7-2).

"It's been a tough place for us to play lately and come up with points, so for us to come in here and get two points in regulation that's huge for us and it's a big confidence boost," Howard said.

Frans Nielsen broke a 2-2 tie at 11:53 of the third period on a tip from the left circle of a Danny DeKeyser shot from the left point for his first goal of the season. Nielsen had not scored since March 27, a span of 27 games.

"We've been winning lately so then you don't feel it as much," Nielsen said. "And as long as the team is doing well you're kind of like 'OK, go out and do my job.' But of course you always want to get that one and hopefully they're going to come a little easier now."

Nyquist scored an empty-net goal at 19:33 for the 4-2 final.

Tyler Bertuzzi and Dylan Larkin also scored for Detroit, which has won its past two games and has at least a point in five of seven (4-2-1). (NHL.com)

KINGS (11-18-1) at RED WINGS (13-13-4)

7:30 p.m. ET; NHLN, FS-D+, FS-W, NHL.TV



The Game
Gustav Nyquist and Dylan Larkin each will look to extend their point streak to four games for the Detroit Red Wings against the Los Angeles Kings at Little Caesars Arena on Monday.

Nyquist has six points (three goals, three assists) in his past three games and 11 points (five goals, six assists) in his past seven . Larkin has six points (one goal, five assists) in a three-game point streak.

The Kings will try to keep their offense rolling when they start a five-game road trip. They have scored eight goals in their past two games, including a 5-1 win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. They scored 11 goals in their previous six games.



Players to watch
Kings forward Anze Kopitar has one assist in his past five games, but has 38 points (14 goals, 24 assists) in 36 games against the Red Wings.

Red Wings defenseman Trevor Daley will return after missing five games with a lower-body injury. He needs one point for 300 in the NHL.



They said it
"Detroit has a lot of fast, young guys, but the puck is still faster than anyone in this league. If we keep moving the puck we can play really fast as well. We've got some young legs up here and that helps too." -- Kings defenseman Drew Doughty

"It always seems like we play better from behind. We get a sense of urgency and start really working. But we can't try to win every game in the third period. We've had a couple good starts lately, but we need to keep playing." -- Red Wings center Dylan Larkin
