Wild go wild on Bruins


Bruins rookie Tim Schaller drops the gloves with Wild Zac Dalpe, on October 25, 2016. Watch the video recap of the game on NHL.com.
With Bruins goalies Tuukka Rask (undisclosed injury) and Anton Khudobin (upper body injury) out of the lineup tonight, Providence Bruins goalies Malcolm Subban and Zane McIntyre were called up and dressed for this game. Unfortunately both goalies were brought into the game but they didn't play that great and the Bruins defense faltered once again. David Backes was also out of the lineup with an undisclosed injury. This is going to be a rough season.
