The victory lifted Boston (6-5-1) into third place all alone, while Red Wings (4-5-3) are 2-5-3 in their last 10 games.
Red Wings welcomed Alex Delvecchio back from injury after the center missed seven game, and Delvecchio scored Detroit's only goal, at 12:49 of the third period to draw Red Wings within one goal.
Chevrefils' goal came at 11:47 of the second period, on the power play. He blasted a slap shot from the point that found its way past Glenn Hall.
Vic Stasiuk deflected Jerry Toppazzini's shot past Hall to open the scoring at 14:47 of the first period.
In the final two minutes of the game, Bruins did an outstanding job of maintaining puck possession deep in Red Wings' zone, and as a result Detroit wasn't able to pull Hall for an extra attacker until about 40 seconds remained.
Throughout the game, Bruins did an excellent job slowing down Detroit's offense. Red Wings couldn't get much sustained pressure in the Boston zone.
George Ranieri (BOS, playing in his first game of the season) and Al Arbour drew fighting majors at 5:33 of the first period.
