<p>(<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/events/61297/preview?article_id=142022">Sports Network</a>) - The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/teams/detroit-red-wings">Detroit Red Wings</a> broke out of an offensive slump in Friday's opener of a home-and-home series against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/teams/boston-bruins">Boston Bruins</a>. The hosts aim for a similar outing this afternoon as the first-place clubs do battle at Joe Louis Arena.</p>
<p>The Red Wings had been outscored 12-4 in losing three of four prior to Friday's engagement at TD Garden. Shut out twice in that span, Detroit broke out with its highest goal output in five games with a 6-1 triumph.</p>
<p>"I thought we had a lot more urgency. It was great to see the guys respond like they did tonight," said Wings captain <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55723/nicklas-lidstrom">Nicklas Lidstrom</a>.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/54655/todd-bertuzzi">Todd Bertuzzi</a> scored twice to reach 700 career points and both <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55741/henrik-zetterberg">Henrik Zetterberg</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55735/jiri-hudler">Jiri Hudler</a> notched a goal and two assists. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55752/tomas-holmstrom">Tomas Holmstrom</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55725/danny-cleary">Danny Cleary</a> added a goal and assist each and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55738/jimmy-howard">Jimmy Howard</a> made 25 saves.</p>
<p>"It was just a well-played game by everyone and I just tried to stand back there and make saves," said Howard after facing the Bruins for the first time in his career.</p>
<p>Detroit, which is 16-8-4 at home this year, leads Nashville by five points for first place in the Central Division, while Boston's edge over second-place Montreal in the Northeast standings is a much slimmer one point.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/54885/david-krejci">David Krejci</a> tallied his first goal in 21 games for the Bruins, who couldn't maintain the momentum from Wednesday's rousing 8-6 win over Montreal and lost for the second time in six contests to split a four-game homestand</p>
<p>"We weren't skating tonight. We were always behind on the puck, and even when we had possession I felt we gave them time to make plays," said Bruins head coach Claude Julien.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/54880/tuukka-rask">Tuukka Rask</a> started in net, but allowed five goals on 19 shots through two periods. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/54839/tim-thomas">Tim Thomas</a> made 14 saves in relief and should get the start tonight. He is 1-2-0 with a 2.72 goals-against average versus the Red Wings.</p>
<p>Bruins forward <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/55211/daniel-paille">Daniel Paille</a> will serve the final contest of his four-game suspension for a hit to the head versus Dallas on Feb. 3.</p>
<p>Boston will play seven of its next eight on the road and is 16-6-4 as the guest this year thanks to victories in four of its last five on the road.</p>
<p>The Red Wings have won three of their last four versus the Bruins and snapped a two-game series home losing streak with last year's 2-0 victory behind 29 saves by <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../nhl/players/54855/chris-osgood">Chris Osgood</a>, who will be honored before tonight's game for becoming the 10th goaltender in league history to reach 400 career wins.</p>
<p>Osgood hit the mark on Dec. 27, is currently on injured reserve due to sports hernia surgery undergone in early January.</p>
