Boston won two straight after dropping the opener against Detroit. The Bruins' 3-0 win on Tuesday set them up to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series with a win on Thursday.
"It hasn't been easy; let's not kid ourselves," Bruins coach Claude Julien told the Associated Press. "We've been fortunate enough in the last two games to get leads. We're not going to talk about a comfortable situation because until you win that fourth game, it never is."
Boston's defense has been huge in the series, allowing Detroit to score only two goals through the first three games.
"It's up to us to work hard without the puck," Julien said. "We've done a good job of backchecking and that has been a big help. The defensive game is not just about the goaltending."
The Bruins have outscored the Red wings 7-1 in the last two games. Dougie Hamilton, Jordan Caron and Patrice Bergeron each scored a goal in Game 3.
When asked if Hamilton's goal was a "soft goal," Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard became defensive.
"When your defenseman goes to throw his stick in front of him, he's trying to do his best to deflect the puck away from the net," Howard said. "That can cause a split hesitation where you don't know where the puck is going to go for a second and just like that the puck is in the net."
