The Bruins have won each of their last four games by 3 goals, most recently dispatching of the Winnipeg Jets, 6-3, on Thursday. David Pastrnak was the star of the night, scoring a pair of goals and assisting on a couple more for 4 points, moving his season total to 36, pulling just ahead of Morgan Geekie, who had a trio of assists, giving him 35 points on the season. Casey Mittelstadt, Sean Kuraly, Hampus Lindholm and Elias Lindholm scored the other goals as Boston took a 3-2 lead out of the first and then a 4-3 lead out of the second before sealing the game with a pair of late goals in the third.
Sitting at 19-13-0 now, the Bruins get their first crack at the Wild this season, who are 18-9-5 and on a three-game winning stretch and just made a huge trade. However, Minnesota played on Saturday, and it was a 3-2 contest with the Ottawa Senators, after the Wild had won their last two by 3 goals. Saturday’s matchup was scoreless through the first period but then Tyler Pitlick scored his first goal of the season to put Minnesota up 1-0, only for Ryan Hartman to add to the lead on a power play later in the period. The Senators scored the next 2 to even the score, but then in the final minute, Joel Eriksson Ek delivered a game-winner on Marcus Johansson’s second assist of the night.
