Wild Roll on While Bruins Struggle: Minnesota Favored in Money Line Betting

The Wild have won five of six games and five straight home games lately. Offensively, they have scored 11 goals in last three games, while their special teams are successful, converting over 18 percent of their power play opportunities. The Bruins have had difficulty in defensive strategies, allowing 10 goals in their last three games, including four on Tuesday when they hosted Minnesota. Also, they’ve played on consecutive nights, which could be disadvantageous. Furthermore, the Bruins are struggling, having lost three of their last four games, including nine goals in the last three. Although they are converting over 24 percent of their power play opportunities, the Wild’s success in penalty killing and only giving up six goals in last three home games might be difficult for Boston to break through. Money line betting goes in favor of the Minnesota.
