The Boston Bruins are winning games when it counts, and it continued on Saturday afternoon with one of the biggest wins of the season over the Western Conference powerhouse Minnesota Wild.
The Bruins suffered back-to-back heartbreaking losses to the New Jersey Devils and the Montreal Canadiens in mid-March. Since then, they have won four of the last five. All four wins came against playoff opponents, with the lone loss coming to a 31-29-13 Toronto Maple Leafs team.
Boston barely scraped past the Atlantic Division’s first-place Buffalo Sabres, with an overtime winner on Wednesday night. But they left no doubt on Saturday night, thumping the Wild 6-3 on Boston’s home ice. Andrew Peeke got the scoring started just over 60 seconds into the contest.
Later in the first period, Pavel Zacha stayed red hot, potting his 25th of the season. Pavel Zacha STAYS HOT and puts the Bruins up 2-0 🔥🏒 pic. twitter.
