 Minnesota Wild (8-12-2)

Bruins-Wild Preview

(AP) -- After not having much success away from home to start this season, the Boston Bruins are thriving on their road trip. Facing the Minnesota Wild may not be the ideal way for them to end it.

Boston looks for its second win in 10 games against Minnesota as it tries to conclude a perfect four-game trip Wednesday night.

The Bruins (11-8-4) won twice in their first seven road games before starting this trip with a 4-3 shootout win over Atlanta on Thursday. Boston beat Buffalo 2-1 in overtime the next night before posting a 4-2 victory over St. Louis on Monday, giving it a season-high three-game win streak. (MORE)
