The Minnesota Wild held on for a road win in their regular-season opener. Now, the Wild will look to keep up their good start going with a victory in their home opener.
The Minnesota Wild prepare for their home opener against the Boston Bruins on Saturday night in Saint Paul following a season-opening road victory. New roster additions Blake Coleman, Olli Maatta, and Maxim Shabanov made an immediate impact in Minnesota's 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators, with Coleman scoring a goal and head coach John Hynes praising their strong transitions.
Boston enters the contest seeking back-to-back road wins after defeating the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in overtime on Friday. The Bruins may start goaltender Michael DiPietro on the second night of a back-to-back, while the Wild expect to give goaltender Jesper Wallstedt his second straight start after he stopped 19 of 20 shots against Nashville.
