A pair of floundering teams will meet up when the Boston Bruins visit the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.The Bruins (30-34-9, 69 points) have lost seven straight and 15 of their last 18. The Red Wings (33-33-6, 72 points) have dropped 11 of their last 14, virtually ensuring they’ll miss the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season.During their current skid, the Bruins have been outscored 36-13. They were thumped by Los Angeles 7-2 and Anaheim 6-2 in their last two games.The last time Boston strung together this many losses was 2000.”It’s a frustrating time right now,” Bruins interim coach Joe Sacco said. “When you get down a few goals like we do, you start to try to play catch-up hockey and you open yourself up for more mistakes, and that’s the problem right now.”In Boston’s latest loss, the Ducks took control with two goals late in the second period to take a 4-1 lead.”A lot of disconnection and every goal started in the O-zone,” Bruins star forward David Pastrnak said. “Lost the puck or unforced mistake, and then we are defending.”Pastrnak’s power play goal in the second period was the lone bright spot. He became the fifth player in Bruins history to reach the 35-goal mark in four consecutive seasons.The game in Detroit wraps up a string of five consecutive road games, though the Bruins had two off-days before Saturday’s contest. Boston leads the season series 2-0, with a 2-1 road triumph on Nov. 23 and a 3-2 home win in overtime on Dec. 3.”We have nine games left,” Pastrnak said. “We still need to build something in this group and be connected.”
