On Saturday, the Boston Bruins (13-5-1, 27 points) will play at home against the Minnesota Wild (14-3-4, 32 points) in an NHL game at TD Garden. The game starts at 7:00 pm ET. Boston’s winning streak was snapped at four games Thursday when the Bruins lost to Montreal, 5-2. Minnesota beat Toronto on Thursday, 5-2, and has at least one point in 10 straight games. The Wild defeated Boston 4-1 when the two met earlier this season, and Minnesota is our pick to win.
In Thursday’s Bruins and Canadiens game, Boston fell behind 5-0 before Casey Mittelstadt scored a pair of goals for the Bruins, but it was too little, too late. David Pastrnak leads the Bruins in goals with eight, assists with 16, and points with 24. The Bruins have a goals-for average of 3.63 and a solid goals-against of 2.42. In net, Jeremy Swayman has won nine times, with a goals-against average of 2.36 and a save percentage of .912. Boston’s loss on Thursday snapped a seven-game unbeaten run for the Bruins on their home ice.
Minnesota has played very well of late, taking a point from each of its last 10 games. The Wild beat Toronto on Thursday with Matt Boldy scoring a hat trick, and Kirill Kaprizov added three assists. Kaprizov leads the Wild in goals with 17 and points with 35. Quinn Hughes has 22 assists to lead the team. The Wild have a goals-for average of 3.33 and an impressive 2.19 goals-against average. Goalie Jesper Wallstedt has been tough to beat between the pipes with a 1.94 GAA and a .925 SV%. The Wild are 8-0-2 during their 10-game point streak.

Our Boston Bruins vs Minnesota Wild Prediction
Boston has been playing well at home, but the Bruins had problems Thursday against Montreal. Pastrnak remains Boston's biggest offensive threat, and Mittelstadt has been finding the net. The Bruins will need more from the rest of the lineup against Minnesota, especially after falling behind by five goals in their last game.
Minnesota has played well on both attack and in its own end of the ice. Kaprizov and Boldy are both scoring and making assists, and Wallstedt has been difficult to beat in net. The Wild have earned points in 10 straight games and already defeated Boston earlier this season. The Bruins will make things difficult at home, but Minnesota has been the more consistent team lately and should be able to pick up another road victory.
Our pick for Boston Bruins vs Minnesota Wild is: Wild win.
