Wild vs Bruins Prediction
The Bruins have been great on their home ice, where they’ve won 8 of their 10 tries, but I’m not betting against the Wild with this soft price. The Wild are one of the best teams in hockey, which includes being top 10 in shots per game and shots against. The Wild are also first in goals against this season.
This is a fantastic Wild team that’s earned points in each of their last 10 games. The Wild also already blasted the Bruins this season in early October, 4-1. The Bruins are solid in their own right, but they allow a lot of shot attempts and aren’t as sharp on special teams. The Wild have been cleaner at both ends of the ice and aren’t a team I’m excited to bet against. Soft price. Give me the Wild on the road.
