Bruins vs Wild Prediction
The Wild are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Bruins and 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Minnesota. Their last three meetings have gone under the total.
In this Bruins vs Wild Prediction, the Wild are coming as -150 home favorites. Both teams have been very good this season and have almost identical records, but the Wild have been strong at home and the Bruins mediocre on the road. The Wild are on the second leg of a home back-to-back and have three straight wins, while the Bruins have four consecutive wins, they are playing their third straight game on the road and their offense has been red-hot lately, having scored 4+ goals in their last five games. The Wild also average 4 goals per game in their last three games, so I expect this game to go over the 6-goal total.
