Boston at Minnesota

The Boston Bruins won the Presidents' Trophy last season by accumulating the most points in the standings. Things have changed dramatically for them this year as 18 teams are ahead of them in the NHL. They have suffered losses in six of their last seven games, and are currently off a shootout loss last night for their third straight setback. This team is emotionally and physically tired right now. The door is open for the Minnesota Wild to catch Boston in the midst of a rough stretch. The Wild has alternated wins and losses over their last dozen games, so off a loss has been their calling card as they are 5-0 in this spot over their last five. The Bruins are at their worst on no rest where they are 0-7 in their last seven, and this one comes on the heels of overtime. Take Minnesota.
