Bruins vs Wild Prediction

I’m on the Wild here. I get the case to be made for Boston at home, but my problem with the Bruins this season is that they’ve been consistently inconsistent. When I give Boston the benefit of the doubt and think that they’ll come through, they get wrecked, and when I bet against them, they come to play like it’s game seven. That being said, we’re still getting plus money with one of the best road teams in the NHL this season, and I think that Minnesota shows up here to provide some value as they had been playing really well on this road trip before getting skunked by Ottawa last time out. Give me the Wild here.
