Tonight was the third game of a four-game road trip for Boston. The good news, Patrice Bergeron made his return to the lineup tonight, after missing the past 13 games. The bad news, the Bruins are still without Charlie McAvoy, Zdeno Chara, Rick Nash, Jake DeBrusk and David Backes.
Minnesota was facing their second of a back-to-back after having most of the week off. As the Wild continue to fight for playoff positioning in their division, they looked to build off of last night’s win.
