BOSTON (AP) — Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard looked like

BOSTON (AP) — Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard looked like he had enough of Brad Marchand http://www.hurricanesshoponline.com/authentic-andrei-svechnikov-jersey , looking to get at the Bruins‘ forward after getting slashed.The rest of his Red Wings teammates had enough of losing in Boston, too.Frans Nielsen scored his first goal of the season to break a tie with 8:07 left in the third period and Howard made 37 saves, lifting the surging Red Wings past the Bruins 4-2 on Saturday night.It snapped Detroit’s nine-game losing streak in TD Garden. It was the Red Wings’ first win here since Oct. 14, 2013. Also, the Bruins had gone 15-1-2 in their last 18 games overall against Detroit.“It’s been a tough place for us to play; really to come up with a point,” said Howard, who tried to square off with Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask after the exchange with Marchand.Tyler Bertuzzi and Dylan Larkin had second-period goals, and Gustav Nyquist added an empty-netter for the Red Wings, who improved 11-4-1 in their last 16 games after opening the season with just one win (1-7-2) in their first 10.“This team’s done a lot where they’ve been physically intimadating over the years,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said “We want to do that. We have some bigger bodies now.”The Bruins were still trying to match the Red Wings’ hard checking despite missing two of their bigger defensemen: captain Zdeno Chara and Kevan Miller, both sidelined with injuries.“Everyone’s stepping up Brock McGinn Jersey Kids ,” Marchand said. “We’ve still got some guys that can throw their weight around.”Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said some teams “could be” more physical against his team with some of the tougher player sidelined.David Backes and Ryan Donato had Boston’s goals, and Rask stopped 22 shots. The Bruins lost for just the third time in 12 home games this season.Nielsen, positioned in the slot, tipped Danny DeKeyser’s shot from the left point for his first goal since March 27th.Howard and Rask nearly squared off during a second-period scrum, but were stopped by the referees.Trailing 2-1 with the Bruins on a power play, Donato took a perfect cross-ice feed from David Pastrnak and beat Howard with a wrister inside the left post.Recalled from the minors before Thursday’s win over the New York Islanders after being sent down on Nov. 1, Donato scored the lone goal in the shootout.The Red Wings tied it 1-1 early in the second period when Bertuzzi tipped a shot over Rask.They took a 2-1 edge with 2:24 left in the period on Larkin’s power-play goal. Seconds after Anthony Mantha fired a shot squarely off the right post, Larkin scored off a rebound out of a scramble with Rask down in front of the crease.The Bruins had jumped ahead 1-0 on a gift goal late in the closing seconds of the opening period when Backes backhanded the puck toward the goal from along the boards and it hit Detroit defenseman Dennis Cholowski’s stick before bouncing over Howard into the net.Play became chippy late in the second period and escalated to both goaltenders leaving the crease and trying to square off during the scrum in front of the benches.It started when Marchand and Bertuzzi were jawing behind play and became heated when Marchand slashed at Howard’s blocker as the goalie was skating off for a delayed penalty. At that point, Howard tried to get at Marchand and Rask attempted skate at Howard. Both threw off their gloves and blockers, but one referee each grabbed a goalie as the rest on the ice paired off without any punches thrown.“I was just going to go to the bench and he kind of slashed Howie,” Bertuzzi said.NOTES: Bruins D Charlie McAvoy gave an update during the first intermission on his concussion that’s sidelined him since mid-October. “I’m progressing well www.minnesotawildteamshops.com ,” he said. He started skating with the team again in November, but didn’t give any idea when he’d be back, only saying “it’s still a day at a time.” … Boston D Brandon Carlo was back in the lineup after missing nine games with an undisclosed upper-body injury. . Detroit D Trevor Daley was sidelined with a lower-body injury he sustained in the last game. … Boston C David Krejci got up slowly and skated to the bench after a hard hit, but he returned for his next shift.UP NEXTRed Wings: Host Colorado on Sunday.Bruins: At Florida on Tuesday, their first of two straight road games in the Sunshine state. NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils have activated goaltender Cory Schneider from the injured list before the team begins a season-long seven-game road trip Tuesday night in Tampa.The 32-year-old Schneider is recovering after offseason hip surgery. He has not played in any of the Devils’ eight games this season. Keith Kinkaid has started and played in all eight games so far.Schneider, an 11-year NHL veteran, is in his sixth season with New Jersey after spending the first five years of his career as a backup with the Vancouver Canucks. Schneider was traded to New Jersey on the day of the 2013 draft for the No. 9 overall selection. In 2014-15, Schneider was a workhorse, playing in 69 of the Devils’ 82 games, posting a 2.26 goals-against average and winning 26 starts.Schneider skated with the Devils during Monday’s practice after spending the last week doing rehab work with the Devils’ AHL affiliate in Binghamton.“It’s been a long road back Authentic Jaccob Slavin Jersey ,” said Schneider, who played in only 40 games last season because of injury. “I did things the right way and didn’t rush it. That got me through it. I just needed to get some live action first before coming back here. It’s fun to be back with the guys.”Schneider will accompany the team to Tampa, but will serve as Kinkaid’s backup for Tuesday’s game. Devils coach John Hynes didn’t put a timetable on Schneider’s return to the net.“He’s going to play at some point,” Hynes said. “We’ll take it day by day. We have a lot of games coming up, so he’ll get in. I just don’t know when. But he will not start tomorrow (Tuesday).”Hynes was encouraged by what he saw from Schneider in Monday’s practice.“Cory looked good,” Hynes said. “It was the first time he had his own net.”Schneider knows he’s not in any rush to return.“Keith has done a great job in goal,” Schneider said. “When he needs a break, I have to be ready. It’s a big trip. It has been tough just watching the guys. But it’s fun to be able to compete again. I know I won’t be 100 percent for a while, but if I stay on top of things with my rehab, I can play. I’m more excited than anything.”
