BOSTON — The Detroit Red Wings fell to the Boston Bruins, 5-1, on Thursday night at TD Garden.
Adam Erne scored the lone goal for the Red Wings in the second period, who trailed, 2-1, after 40 minutes. The Bruins put the game out of reach in the third, finding the back of the net three times in a 1:39-span.
“A couple decent periods there against a very good team,” Ben Chiarot said. “A tough building to come into. In the third period, I think you saw a little bit of experience on that side versus a little bit of the inexperience on our side.”
Ville Husso made 28 saves in his fourth start of the season for Detroit (3-2-2; 8 points), which dropped its second straight game.
Matt Luff, who was recalled from the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins on Thursday morning, logged 8:45 of ice time against Boston.
NEXT UP: The Red Wings will host the Minnesota Wild for Halloween Night at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday.

Chiarot on what the Red Wings can take away from Thursday night
“Learn from it. Keep getting better. Watch a team like that and what they do. Watch how their top players put it behind the defense every time.”
Head coach Derek Lalonde on Detroit’s power play against the Bruins
“We had some opportunities and hit some posts with some looks there. Sometimes, your power play isn’t going to score, but you need it to play well to get momentum. There was a couple in there that we needed that just didn’t click for us tonight.”
