Boston Bruins at Minnesota Wild
· National Hockey LeagueFrederick Gaudreau and Filip Gustavsson shine as Wild beat Bruins 1-0
Gustavsson posted his fourth shutout of the season, his first since Jan. 4 against Carolina. The Wild snapped a three-game losing streak.
Jeremy Swayman made 21 saves as the Bruins lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Gaudreau got Minnesota on the board at 5:01 of the second period when he set up in front of the net and redirected Marcus Johansson's shot from the high slot past Swayman.
Wild: Minnesota's offense also continued to struggle with superstar Kirill Kaprizov among its many injured players. But the Wild's penalty kill went 2 for 2 and the defense kept Boston from creating many quality scoring opportunities.
Series tied 1-1
