Bruins vs. Wild
Boston is playing the last game vs. Minnesota Wild at the TD Garden tomorrow night before going on the road trip to NYC, Detroit and then to Florida.
The Wild team is one of the youngest NHL franchises and, ironically, they are Boston’s worst opponent in the Leagues based on statistics for the currently playing NHL teams. The Minnesota Wild even bypassed Montreal, the biggest rival of the Bruins.
