The current betting odds have the Bruins listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bruins have looked good in their games this season with their 40-24-8 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the East. They have looked great on home ice too with their 26-10-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Wild have looked really good in their games this season with their 41-20-12 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have been a great road team too with their 21-10-4 road record this year. The Wild have been one of the best teams in the NHL all season and they are off a 3-2 road win over the Panthers in their last one, but they haven't looked good in their games lately. They are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and even though they haven't clinched a playoff spot yet, they don't have much left to play for this season. The Wild are 14 points ahead of the next team in their division so they have pretty much clinched their spot and they can only really catch the Stars for home advantage. They haven't been at their best lately though and now they are taking on a team that has been really tough to beat at home. The Bruins have one of the best home records in the NHL this season and they have over the last few years too. They are only 5-2-3 in their last 10 games, but they are off a big road win over the Sabres which will give them some momentum and they have looked like a completely different team on home ice this year. This game also means a lot more to the Bruins since they are currently in the Wild Card race and are still at risk of missing the playoffs, so look for the Bruins to bring their best effort here and pick up another big win at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bruins to win this game.

Boston Bruins:  None.

“I thought we did a good job responding, ended it in the offensive zone. One face-off, we drill it to the net front and we had some presence. It was good. I thought tonight, we played a pretty solid game. The response after the goal, set us up to give us a chance to win the game.” - John Hynes after his team’s win against the Panthers in their game on Thursday. 

“He’s our guy. I’m not saying he needs to deliver and be the difference and be the goal-scorer every night, but he needs to be the driver. I feel like when he does it, we all feel it.” - Marco Sturm after his team’s win against the Sabres in their game on Wednesday.
