RECAP: The Red Wings lost 2-1 to the Bruins.

DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings failed to capitalize on four power play opportunities Saturday night, costly in a tense 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins at Little Caesars Arena.

Goaltender Cam Talbot, two games shy of hitting .500 in his NHL career, made 27 saves for the Red Wings (8-10-2; 18 points). Goaltender Jeremy Swayman stopped 18 shots for the Bruins (10-9-3; 23 points), who are 2-0-0 under interim head coach Joe Sacco.

“It seemed like both teams were looking to play the right way, be taller and not give up on the easy offense,” Detroit head coach Derek Lalonde said. “You need a power play and they got it. I know it seems like luck, but they got the puck from Mo and it went in the net. Such a tight game, special teams difference, and they won 1-0.”

Talbot made a big stop just 24 seconds into the game, coming out of the box to prevent a shot from David Pastrnak who was wide open in the slot. But Boston capitalized on a lucky rebound on the man advantage just before the midway point of the first period when Tyler Johnson’s shot deflected off Justin Brazeau’s stick for a 1-0 lead at 8:33.

Lucas Raymond tied the game in the final minute of the first frame with a wrister into the slot after receiving a pass from Vladimir Tarasenko to make it 1-1 at 19:02. Detroit captain Dylan Larkin also assisted Raymond with his fourth goal of the season, becoming the 15th player in franchise history to reach 300 career NHL assists.
