The Wings return to the ice tonight against the Boston Bruins from the TD 
Garden in Boston.
Tonight marks as an interesting game for the Wings who play their first game since being embarrassed on their home ice when they lost 4-1 to Nashville the other night. After that game head coach Mike Babcock was none to pleased with his team’s performance and went as far as calling them “awful” and further iterated that if his team was going to work during games they would work during practice.
Nonetheless here is tonight’s lineup according to Ansar Khan of Mlive.com…
