Bruins lineup tonight: Boston’s projected lineup for game against the Detroit Red Wings | Mar. 29, 2025

The Boston Bruins will look to snap their longest losing streak of the season when they face the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. The Bruins were handed a 6-2 loss by the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday, which came on the heels of a 7-2 defeat to the LA Kings on Sunday.

While Boston is heading into Saturday's matchup on a seven-game skid, Detroit is on a two-game losing streak, suffering losses to the Colorado Avalanche and Ottawa Senators.

The Bruins are seventh in the Atlantic Division, three points behind the Red Wings. Their seven-game skid has dropped them six points outside of wild-card contention in the East.
