Bruins Prepare for Wild After Rangers Win

The Boston Bruins will face the Minnesota Wild following a recent victory over the New York Rangers, where David Pastrnak scored a hat trick, contributing to a 6-3 win. Despite this success, the Bruins have faced challenges, notably struggling in a recent game against the Winnipeg Jets, losing 6-2 after allowing multiple quick goals in the third period. The Bruins have a 26-22-6 overall record, with a stronger performance at home, while the Wild are strong on the road with a 31-18-4 record. Closing periods has been a consistent issue for the Bruins, who have been outscored significantly in recent games. The upcoming game against the Wild marks the first meeting of the season between the two teams, with top performers like Pastrnak and Matthew Boldy expected to play key roles. The Bruins need to address their defensive lapses to maintain their playoff position in the highly competitive league.
