BOSTON — The Bruins aim for back-to-back wins Sunday afternoon at TD Garden against a highly skilled Detroit Red Wings team that’s taken points from seven of its last 10 games.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien didn’t confirm which goaltender will start. Tuukka Rask played Saturday afternoon in Boston’s 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers and has played in 20 of the last 22 games.
Julien also said Brian Ferlin will take the warmup. The young right winger was a healthy scratch Saturday. If he played, it would be on the fourth line.
Jonas Gustavsson will start in net for the Red Wings, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com. Detroit’s backup goaltender is 3-2-1 with a 2.12 goals against average and a .924 save percentage in six appearances this season. He made 37 saves on 40 shots in a win against the Nashville Predators in his last start on Feb. 28.
Here are the projected lineups for both teams:
