The Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild clash on Saturday night in the NHL, for what will be a sneaky great game. Both teams sit with no losses on the season (3-0-0 combined), and look to continue their winning ways and momentum. Who will claim victory? Here is our Bruins vs. Wild prediction to find out!
Minnesota started their season on the road and earned a solid 3-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. Now, they are set for their home opener, which will give them all the energy they need. Their opponents in Boston have started the season on a two-game winning streak, but now enter this game on the second half of a back to back, and face their toughest challenge in the young season. The Wild should certainly have more legs than their opponents in this contest. Minnesota is without star defenseman Brock Faber due to injury, but their team game led them well in their previous game, allowing just 20 shots on their stalwart goaltender Jesper Wallstedt. Wallstedt is expected to start this one, as he looks to continue to show himself as one of the elite young netminders in the NHL. With Boston likely using their backup Michael DiPietro, the edge in net also goes to Minnesota. The likes of David Pastrnak won’t be enough to carry Boston, especially against a Wild team that is full of star power. Take Minnesota on the puck line, winning by 2+ goals for our Bruins vs. Wild prediction.
