This is the third straight road game for Minnesota, winless away from home. They are winless on this four-game road trip, getting outscored by an 8-4 count, even losing at New Jersey as chalk. The Wild have allowed at least 30 shots on goal in five of their six games and are on a 5-12 run, including 3-7 against a winning team. Minnesota Goalie Devan Dubnyk has last lost all five career starts against Boston with a 5.20 goals-against average. The Bruins are playing well, with improved defense, eighth in goals allowed, #10 in penalty killing. Boston is wrapping up a three-game homestand and has had two full days to rest, so back the rested home team and play Boston.
