Jeremy Swayman made 19 saves for the Bruins (10-9-2), who improved to 2-0-0 under interim coach Joe Sacco.

“I feel better about my game, but it was a short road to get here,” said Swayman, who improved to 6-7-2. “It’s taken some elite practices to allow me to get my feels and my reading back, and we’re going to have to continue to do that.”

Boston defeated Detroit 25-14 at even strength.

“We talked as a group about taking pride in the defense and the structure we want to play with,” Sacco said. “That’s what we’ve had the last two games and I want to see more of that from our guys.”

Lucas Raymond scored for Detroit (8-10-2), which lost four of five (1-3-1). Cam Talbot made 27 saves.

“I didn’t like the way we got the puck in the third period. We just couldn’t get out of our zone,” Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said. “It didn’t hurt us until it did. We played a pretty good game in the first two periods.”
