Another relinquished lead, and other Bruins-Wild takeaways
Jakub Lauko plays against the Minnesota Wild during the first period Tuesday.For two teams who only meet twice per season, the Bruins and Minnesota Wild seemingly bring out another side in each other.
That trend continued Tuesday night during the Bruins’ final pre-holiday home tilt at TD Garden – resulting in a 4-3 overtime win for the Wild.
Following another slow start, Jakub Lauko provided the Bruins with a needed spark. On the ensuing shift from Marcus Johansson’s power play marker, Lauko promptly challenged Connor Dewar, landing a few stiff blows in a scrap between the two fourth-line forwards.
