NHL Highlights | Bruins vs. Wild – December 14, 2025

won his last two starts. Shut out the Bruins last March. Last year, both teams in this series were shut outs, one for each side. Now, all teams shot off two ranks. Here comes Baldi in and the glove saved by Swayman. And it was disrupted by Faber just enough to break it up. Zaka comes off the end wall out to the line. shoulders from a shot. Houston on the rebound and a save by Gustoson on this second power play group for Minnesota. Johansson to Spurgeon. Back for Johansson and it just missed. Johansson’s been one of the hottest scorers for Minnesota lately. Five points in the last three games. Spurgeon moves in a shot. He scores. Oh, what a shot by Jared Spurgeon. And he sees he’s got ice at the top of the zone and by Joe Hansen getting in the eyes of Swayman. Swayman sees the release of that shot on NHL goalie that puck’s not going in. Joe Hansen knows immediately when that puck gets kicked up top to Spurgeon. Gets right in the eyes of Swayman. No chance he’s ever going to find that puck to the blocker side. Great release. gets rid of it again. Virgin gets it by the first court. Forward of Boss and steps a big hit by Zidorov. Punt fire. Save Swayman. Rebound loose. Storm with a shot and another save by Swayman to Johansson. Johansson to Baldi. His shot blocked in front by Lindol. Favor in. And a save by Swayman. A lot of the talk over the last couple years has been, you know, we’re targeting a a top six forward, a scoring winger. What caused you to direct your attention instead to one of the best offensive defenseman in the NHL? I was just trying to throw you off, P. No, I just figured they had already put the gear on the plane. Uh, so we had we had somebody um we had somebody fly it in this morning. Yeah. I mean, you know what? I I think it’s it’s it’s different because we’re in different stages right now. Like, you know what, we’re you know, we’re we’re we’re a little, you know, further ahead and and Boston’s a team, they want to get the puck in and go to work and play simple offensive hockey and talked about before the game and they want to grind you down the first 40 minutes and let the skill take over in the third period. Goldie shot goes wide, rebound, Capric scores. scores. A quick backhand flip from Capri off and it’s two0 Minnesota outside to enter the zone and Eric Zack takes a stick and moves it aside to throw the puck towards the net. Kicks off the back wall and carums out in front and Capri beats slam into that post and just pokes it over his pad. But just a shift go we’re talking about Jones just simply getting that puck to the net. Half a minute left in the wild man advantage. Faber hits the Boston line. Faber drives in centers and they score. Ryan Hartman and Minnesota’s second power play group as their second power play goal of the night. partner all night about his his ability to skate with the puck and enter the zone with speed. And you just see what Faber did through the neutral zone. I think you’re going to see that out of those two for the next several years. But what a pass over to Hartman. Make no mistake to beat Swayman on the blocker side. But it’s all started by Faber. His skating, his heads up play. Eyes up on Swayman the whole way, not allowing Swayman to get set on. We’ve seen his skating make an impact in this game. 18 minutes of ice time through the first two minutes or two periods. This already makes his wild team look that much faster when he’s on the ice. And he’s still playing without Vinnie Hinistrozen. Marcus Felino up front playing without Broaddin and Middleton on the back end. You lose a lot of minutes and the guys you imagine those are guys that are playing in. He scores. Welcome to Minnesota. You see his game ability, his want to get up and play offense. He finds a good area of the ice, gets himself into a good shooting area. Has the ability to squeak him through Swayman’s legs, but there’s not a lot of defense when they read that play the way he does and see Hartman driving that puck into the zone and find that ice in the top of the zone. Get in the middle of the ice. We talked about that when they acquired him. His ability to get into the middle of the ice to man the puck, which he does. Assist number 38, Brian Hartman. and number 16. Impossible. So, he was unable to be a part of that team, but a no-brainer to be a part of the Olympic team coming up in February. And they score. Baldi shot beat Swayman who appears to be shaken up on the play. Throw the puck to the net. But face out a 50/50 bat out. Baldi maintains a possession. Takes a shot short side off swing. It looks like he’s already shaking his arm a little bit. Ends up after throwing his blocker off. But I think it’s that initial shot by Baldi that stings him in the collar bone. That puck kicks off. Saka Skade leaks in blocker. It is a franchise changing day when when those two are brought in. is just the record-breaking deal. You know, when those deals were given out and what the Makavoy holds at the line, I mentioned it earlier that as exciting as it is and as much excitement as the addition of Hughes has brought cuz here they break the shut out. Steves beats Gustoson and the Bruins are on the board. It’s 51. They get rewarded for their pressure. gets three guys to the front. Ske enters the slot and finds a loose puck. But this is the offense they want to play as they want to play this heavy meat and potatoes game. Control the puck. Play heavy in front of the crease. And Steve comes in, finds that loose puck. Gus can’t find it through all that traffic in front of him. You got two wild players. Just gets through his armpit there on the blocker side. He’s been here longer than him. Capri just does hold at the line. Erikson back to Capri have a shot pass saves Swayman rebound and they’ve seen no goal wave it off Makavoy tries getting a stick on it. Oh boy on that angle it does look like it caught the crossbar. No, that puck never went in. No, it didn’t. Oh boy, maybe on that angle it does look like it caught the crossbar. No, that puck never went in. And no, it didn’t. After video reviewers determined that the puck hit the crossbar and did not cross the goal line. Therefore, it was no goal. So, the initial wave off by the officials was correct. Hartman held on the play. A penalty coming against Boston. Delayed call against the Bruins as Hartman circles up high. Capri off fires, scores. allows Dusk to get to the bench. On comes Cabri off late. Pitlick does a great job in front again. Great traffic in front of Swayman, but Harbin creates that play. Drawing the penalty, rolls out to the top of the zone, gets that puck to Capri off finds by blocker. There you see Pitlick diving there, getting thrown down by a heavy hit on Pitlick. Jones goes to O Koval and he missed it wide. Jones folds but his pass intercepted by Corali out of the penalty box. Corali in short-handed. A sprawling play by Gustoson and what a save against Jano. and just before the horn. It wouldn’t matter anyway, but a deep shot. Unfortunate comes out. Aggressive play, but the rebound on an athletic save. Please reset the clock to 9 seconds. So, they will actually go through the process here of a faceoff with 9/10 of a second left. The peak goal will make it 6-2. Here’s a look at the save Gustoson made just before. Uh fun to see that he looks comfortable out there at the bottom of the circles. This is a red play to come away from Carali, though. And now it’s official and the Wild extend their win streak to four games with a 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Quinn Hughes scored a goal in his Wild debut and Kirill Kaprizov collected three points as Minnesota defeated the Boston Bruins 6-2.
