That's a pretty substantial differential.

Wings' position in the NHL overall - 

Points: T4th

Points %: 6th

Regulation Wins: 6th

Regulation & Overtime Wins: 3rd

Goals For: 11th (because the Wings have played more games than many teams, their GF/game is likely lower than 11th)

Goals Against: T20th (because the Wings have played more games than many teams, their GA/game is likely higher than 20th)

Goal Differential: 15th

Keeping it scoreless after 1 on the back end of a back to back is acceptable for now.

Bruins finally break through midway through the 2nd.

This team is way better than what we’ve had for a long time but they are still not very good.

They are getting it done mostly with the power play and great goaltending. The back end of the D and the 5 on 5 are not great.

But there are still 68 points left at play in the schedule. They aren't going to get them all.
