       BOSTON (AP) _ Carl Soderberg had a goal and two assists, and the Boston Bruins had a season-high 45 shots in a 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.

        Reilly Smith, Gregory Campbell and Seth Griffin also scored for the Bruins, who were without two of their top forwards. Leading scorer Patrice Bergeron (7 goals, 20 assists) and Milan Lucic sat with undisclosed injuries, the first game either has missed this season.

        The Bruins, who have dealt with a string of injuries through the first three months of the season, played one of their strongest games _ short-handed or at full-strength.
