A fitting end to the home schedule of the 2018-19 season. The Bruins didn’t give the Wild much, the Wild flubbed the chances they did have, and after another shutout at home, the Wild have capped off the worst home season in franchise history.
The story of the game heading in was the debut of newly signed forward Nico Sturm. Sturm, a two-way forward from Clarkson University. He held his own well. He drove the net, was strong on the puck with his 6’3” 207 lb. frame, and fired three shots on goal all in 13:20 TOI.
