Minnesota is carried by a remarkable defense
The Wild are one of the best teams in the Central Division despite the offensive struggles, as they are scoring only 2.81 goals per game. Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov have scored 35 goals and 34 assists to lead the top line, but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only three skaters have seven goals or more, and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.
The offense has struggled but the defense has been incredible, allowing only 2.65 goals per game with only five goals in the last three games. Brock Faber and Jared Spurgeon have combined for 3.6 defensive point shares and the unit will only get better after the blockbuster trade that adds Quinn Hughes to their blue line. In addition, goaltender Filip Gustavsson has been great with 5.1 goals saved above average while allowing only three goals in the last two starts.

Bruins vs Wild Pick
Money Line Pick For Bruins vs Wild
- Bruins (+130) (4 units)
This will be a great game between two of the best teams in the NHL. The Wild look to take this one at home but the Bruins have four wins in a row and look to take this one from the first period. The Bruins, who average 3.28 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Morgan Geekie, David Pastrnak, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Bruins should limit a Wild offense that averages only 2.81 goals per game with Nikita Zadorov, Jonathan Aspirot, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who has allowed only three goals in their last two games, to blank the shots on the net. The Bruins should win the game to extend their winning streak to five games.
Take the Bruins money line as road Underdogs.
Over/Under Pick For Bruins vs Wild
- Over 6 (5 Units)
The Wild have a great defense but the Bruins are led by their offense, and this game looks to be a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Wild should create plenty of scoring chances against the Bruins, who allow 3.09 goals per game, with Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Bruins, who have scored 24 goals in their last five games, should run up the score with David Pastrnak, Morgan Geekie, Pavel Zacha, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with effective puck movement to overwhelm the Wild defense. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6 goals.
The Bruins face the Wild with both teams looking to wrap up the weekend in the win column.
