Boston at Minnesota

Boston is short on defensive depth, allowing 24 goals the last six games. This is the second of a six-game road trip and the Bruins are 8-20 against the Western Conference. Boston has gone three for thirty-five on the power play in the last 12 contests. Minnesota is 14-9-4 at home, hungry for a win, still a strong defensive club, #11 in goals allowed. The Bruins are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings, so jump on the hungry home team playing its third straight home contest and play Minnesota.
