The Bruins' front office has backed them into a corner, so it's time for them to be active at the 2025 trade deadline.

The Minnesota Wild hosted the Boston Bruins on Sunday afternoon, Mar. 2, to kick off a heavy home-filled month. The Wild will play 11 home games in the month of March, with four on the road.

Frederick Gaudreau scored the game’s only goal and Filip Gustavsson stopped 28 shots as the Minnesota Wild beat the Boston Bruins 1-0 on Sunday.

Jeremy Swayman made 21 saves for Boston (28-26-8), which won 3-2 at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday but has lost six of the past seven (1-4-2). David Pastrnak ’s 17-game point streak ended (33 points; 15 goals, 18 assists).

The Minnesota Wild know that time is running short with 22 games left in the regular season. The Wild also know that they are playing shorthanded without several prominent players, including top scorer Kirill Kaprizov and steady veteran Joel Eriksson Ek.

Minnesota was the last team the Bruins beat before that five-game skid, a run which further dimmed Boston’s playoff hopes.

Freddy Gaudreau scored early, and Filip Gustavsson earned his 10th career shutout as the Wild held on to snap a three-game losing streak.

The Predators lost both games in New York over the weekend, a 7-4 loss to the Islanders and a 4-0 loss to the Rangers. Nashville (21-32-7, 49 points) remains in seventh place in the Central Division, four points ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks.
