The Detroit Red Wings earned a split in Boston, despite scoring just two goals in the first two games against the Presidents' Trophy winners.

Detroit lost to the Bruins, 4-1, in Sunday's Game 2, with its lone goal coming from Luke Glendening in the second period. The Red Wings were 0-for-4 on the power play, including 0-of-3 in the second period.

"When you have a man up, you have to take advantage of it," NBC analyst Jeremy Roenick said. "Detroit has not done that this series. Four power plays (in Game 2), only one shot on net."

Said Mike Milbury: "Detroit has to find ways to generate more offense. One goal in each of the first two games just doesn't cut it."

But thanks to Pavel Datsyuk's Game 1 goal, the Red Wings head back to Detroit even in the series. Game 3 is Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena.

"Detroit has got to feel really good about where they are right now," Roenick said. "Yes, they did lose this game 4-1. But they went in there and they stole one.

"They took home-ice advantage. They proved to themselves and a lot of people they can beat the big, bad Bruins. That confidence could be good going back to Detroit."
