The Boston Bruins arrived in the Twin Cities early Saturday morning on the heels of a physically grueling team-building win in Winnipeg. They didn’t miss a beat against the Wild.
In one of their better 60-minute efforts of the season, the Bruins put forth a dominating effort from top to bottom against a struggling Minnesota squad. All 18 skaters had their skating legs from the start as Torey Krug’s four-point night (two goals and two assists) and a near-perfect night on special teams sparked Boston to a 6-1 triumph.
Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak, Anders Bjork and Jake DeBrusk added to Boston’s lead on the heels of Krug’s pair, while Jaroslav Halak notched 25 saves in the winning effort.
