The Wings dropped a defensive-minded 2-1 decision Saturday to the Bruins after winning a similar effort two days prior against the Islanders.

The Detroit Red Wings couldn't pull off another comeback, even with two extra skaters. Saturday against the Boston Bruins was a grind in a 2-1 loss.

The Red Wings fell to 8-10-2. The Bruins (10-9-3) are 2-0 since interim coach Joe Sacco replaced the fired Jim Montgomery. Talbot made 27 saves to keep the game close until the end. The Red Wings had a six-on-four advantage in the final 1:22 after pulling Talbot for an extra skater and Marchand was called for tripping.
