Despite the disparity in the standings, many hockey pundits predicted a close series between the Presidents’ Trophy winning Boston Bruins and the Detroit Red Wings. Well, so far, they were right.

If Game 1 was any indication, we are in for a doozy of a series. But the Bruins, who lost three of four to the Red Wings during the regular season, are the ones who have to bounce back after falling 1-0 Friday night at the TD Garden.

Will the B's even the series on Causeway Street on Easter Sunday? Or will they have an uphill battle and trail 2-0 before the series shifts to the Joe Louis Arena in two days?

Gameday details:

Series details: Red Wings up, 1-0
Game 2 puck drop: 3 p.m.
Networks: NBC, 98.5 The Sports Hub
Location: TD Garden

For those watching NYR, Nash draws an interference penalty on Grossman. Skated into Grossman, ran him over. Bruins need that.

No hate in Game 1. Just like Wings want it. So good at playing low-emotion, flat-line hockey.

$5 ,000 for DeKeyser's family jewels. And 3 games for Seabrook's head. NHL economics.

No Daniel Paille, no Chris Kelly (as expected). That means more Justin Florek and Jordan Caron.

7 D warming up for Bruins, including Kevan Miller. Bart already deemed out for today ^CS
