BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins are having a little fun so far this season watching 6-foot-9 defenceman Zdeno Chara turn into a power forward on the power play.
Michael Conforto Mets Jersey . Chara scored a power-play goal and helped set up Torey Krugs score with the man advantage by just standing in front of the net, leading the Bruins to a 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night. "If you dont have a play, throw it down front to Z (Chara) and (Milan Lucic) and theyll battle," Krug said. "We have a good thing going so far. Were having fun." Brad Marchand scored the tiebreaking goal 36 seconds into the second period and Tuukka Rask made 25 saves as the Bruins improved to 2-0. Jordan Caron added an even-strength score for Boston, which won its season opener against Tampa Bay on Thursday. "Its always been a basic part of my game to work hard," Chara said. "When Im in there, I might as well enjoy it." Henrik Zetterberg scored for the Red Wings, who are in the same division with the Bruins after the NHL realigned following last season. Detroits Jimmy Howard, playing his third straight game, made 33 saves. The Red Wings were playing consecutive road nights after beating Carolina 3-2 in overtime. "Its not easy when theres somebody thats 6-foot-8 standing in front of you," Howard said. "Its something youve got to figure out and try and find a way to try and find the puck. But its extremely difficult with him in front." On the opening shift of the second period, Marchand broke in and fired a wrist shot that caromed into the net off the far post, pushing Boston ahead 2-1. Carons goal gave the Bruins a 3-1 edge midway into the second period. Reilly Smith backhanded a pass from the slot to Caron, who one-timed a shot past Howard from the top of the right faceoff circle. Chara, playing in front of the net on the power play, collected a pass in front and looked like a polished goal scorer, shifting around Howard before tucking a shot inside the right post midway into the third. Krug collected an assist. Krug unloaded a slap shot from the left point that gave Boston a 1-0 lead midway into the opening period. It came just 15 seconds after Niklas Kronwall was sent off for holding. "In the second period thats something we talked about," Krug said of Charas play in front. "I think I talked to Krej (David Krejci) about it, What should I do with the puck? He said, Just give it to Z, hes going to win every battle." The Red Wings tied it late in the period when Zetterberg collected a rebound in front and slipped a shot by Rask inside the right post. The score came after a pass along the boards appeared to hit a glove on Detroits bench and dropped to the ice. The Bruins briefly stopped while the Red Wings broke out with the puck. Rask made a nice sliding stop on Justin Abdelkaders bid from in close a few minutes before Zetterbergs goal. Boston outshot the Red Wings 37-26. "They won in every statistic tonight," Howard said. "Every battle. Im not going to make that excuse that we were tired or anything like that because I kind of think its pathetic." Marchand took a hard hit and was face down on the ice for a while early in the second. He was levelled when Abdelkader left his feet and blind-sided the winger. Marchand was helped to the bench, but returned later in the period. NOTES: It was Krugs first regular season goal. He had four in his first five playoff games last spring. ... Bruins F Carl Soderberg was out with an injured ankle. ... Howard entered 3-0 with a 1.62 goals against in his career versus Boston. ... The Bruins and Red Wings meet in TD Garden again on Columbus Day. ... The Red Wings had killed off their first seven short-handed situations before Krugs goal. ... Boston F Lucic is two goals shy of 100 for his career. ... David Ortizs second homer of the Red Sox-Rays ALDS game was shown on the Jumbotron late in the second period, drawing a huge roar from the TD Garden crowd. The final out was also shown, with a louder response. ... Bostons Smith played against his brother -- Red Wings D Brendan Smith.

Yoenis Cespedes Jersey .C. -- The Hornets have placed the teams future personnel decisions in the hands of Rich Cho after Rod Higgins has stepped down as the teams president of basketball operations on Friday.NEW YORK -- Paul Bissonnette of the Phoenix Coyotes was automatically suspended 10 regular-season games by the NHL for leaving the bench to start a fight. Bissonnette left the bench after teammate Rostislav Klesla was injured on a hit by Los Angeles Kings forward Jordan Nolan. Klesla had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher and suffered a concussion. Bissonnette was suspended because he violated Rule 70.10, which states: "The first player to leave the players or penalty bench illegally during an altercation or for the purpose of starting an altercation from either or both teams shall be suspended without pay for the next 10 regular league and/or playoff games of his team." He was also given a game misconduct Sunday night.
Darryl Strawberry Mets Jersey. The suspension will cost Bissonnette US$37,820.51, and he will be eligible to make his season debut Oct. 24 when the Coyotes play at the Kings. Nolan was not suspended for the hit, which NHL vice president of player safety Brendan Shanahan called an "open-ice body check." "The hit was punishing and resulted in Klesla suffering an injury," Shanahan said in a video confirming no supplemental discipline. "However in delivering it, Nolan broke no National Hockey League rules." Shanahan explained that Nolan did not leave his feet and did not launch himself at Klesla or target the defencemans head.
