KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 38-33-11, 87 points. Finished fifth in Central Division. Lost to Dallas Stars in Western Conference quarterfinals.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau (first season, 10th NHL season).
ADDED: C Marc Staal, RW Chris Stewart.
LOST: LW Thomas Vanek, RW Justin Fontaine, LW Chris Porter, C Jarret Stoll, RW David Jones.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Mikael Granlund. The ninth pick in the 2010 draft, a cult hero in his native Finland, hasn't matched the hype with offensive production over his first four NHL seasons. But he has proved to be a hard-nosed defensive player and, playing all 82 games for the first time, posted a career-best 13 goals and 44 points last season. Granlund, who has been playing left wing on a line centered by captain and fellow Finn Mikko Koivu, is poised for a breakout in Boudreau's system.
OUTLOOK: With Granlund and fellow forwards Charlie Coyle, Nino Niederreiter, Erik Haula and Jason Zucker, plus defensemen Jonas Brodin and Matt Dumba, the Wild have a young core. Koivu, Staal, Zach Parise, Jason Pominville and defenseman Ryan Suter will all be 32 or older this season, so the time is now to make a move past the early rounds of the playoffs where they've been stuck the last four years. It's up to Boudreau to guide them there.
BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 42-31-9, 93 points. Fourth in Atlantic Division. Failed to qualify for Stanley Cup Playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien (10th season, 14th NHL season)
ADDED: F David Backes, F Riley Nash, F Dominic Moore, G Anton Khudobin.
LOST: F Loui Eriksson, G Jonas Gustavsson, D Dennis Seidenberg.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Brad Marchand. If the 37 goals Marchand scored for the Bruins last season wasn't enough to catch the attention of the entire NHL, he definitely alerted everyone to his status as an elite talent during the recent World Cup of Hockey. Playing for victorious Team Canada, Marchand led the tournament with five goals in six games. He also scored the game-winning short-handed goal in the third period of the decisive second game of the best-of-three finals against Team Europe. During the tournament, the Bruins made sure Marchand wouldn't be leaving as an unrestricted free agent next summer by signing him to an eight-year, $49 million contract. Marchand has matured at both ends of the ice and there's no telling how much more he could improve in the next few seasons.
OUTLOOK: The Bruins seem to be caught between rebuilding and contending as they come off two straight seasons without qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs by a combined three points. With Backes their only major addition during the offseason, the Bruins are banking on the continued improvement or some of their younger players and the emergence of a couple prospects to turn their fortunes around. Boston again looks like a bubble team that will be playing for its life right down to the final weekend of the season.
PREVIEW
Bruins' goaltending in flux as they prepare for Wild

BOSTON -- The Bruins finished practice Monday with only one goaltender.

And that goalie, prospect Malcolm Subban, had just arrived from Providence as the early saga of the Boston goal continued -- and it appeared Subban would be in goal for Tuesday night's home game against the Minnesota Wild.

This all started when starter Tuukka Rask missed the second game of the season, with what was called "general soreness." He then played in both the final game of the three-game, season-opening road trip and the home opener -- defeating both the Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils.

But Rask said he wasn't at one hundred percent, and Anthon Khudobin played in the 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens last Saturday, with Zane McIntyre on the bench as the recalled backup.

McIntyre was sent back and Subban -- 0-3-1 with a 4.50 goals against average at Providence, yielding three goals on nine shots in one -- was brought up to join the team at Monday's practice.

Then, Khudobin, expected to start Tuesday, suffered a hand or wrist injury, left the ice. One goal was "guarded" by a blue screen with holes in it for pucks.

Subban, who gave up three goals on six shots in his only NHL game two seasons ago, was the last man standing.

"If we have to make adjustments and have some new personnel, we'll deal with it," said coach Claude Julien, who never likes to talk about who his goalie will be in the coming game.

He also said, "If he's going in goal, he'll go in goal, it's simple as that."

Subban, a first-round draft pick in 2012, is 45-31-15 in 99 career games in the minor leagues.

The Bruins, 3-2-0 heading into the finale of a three-game homestand before a four-game road trip (seven of their first 10 games are on the road), will face a Minnesota tam that picked up one of the possible four points in the New York Metropolitan Area over the weekend.

The Wild (3-2-1) have allowed at least 30 shots on goal in five of their six games and are just making too many mistakes to satisfy new coach Bruce Boudreau. They gave up six goals, one into an empty net, in Sunday night's loss to the Islanders in Brooklyn.

"If you don't practice the same thing over and over early, you sometimes forget, and you start playing the game like shinny," Boudreau said after practice Monday. "We had to go over some points that I think we're starting to get away from us and bring everything back into focus."

The Bruins swept the two-game series from the Wild each of the last two seasons. But Boston's home-ice troubles, which cost the Bruins a playoff spot last year, is again threatening to be a problem. The Bruins escaped with a 2-1 victory over New Jersey -- Patrice Bergeron scoring the winner with 1:15 left -- and then fell to the rival Canadiens.

Julien's team, which has missed the playoffs the last two seasons, has allowed the first goal in all five games.

"I hope it's not a habit," the coach said Saturday. "It's certainly not what we're looking for. But there's no doubt, I think it's pretty obvious that with the amount of games we've played, five games, we haven't scored first. We talked about that (Saturday) morning, trying to get that first goal, and it hasn't happened yet."

Darcy Kuemper was shaky in the Minnesota goal Sunday, in a game that saw Zach Parise score his 300th and 301st NHL goals.

On Kuemper's early woes of giving up multiple goals in bunches, Boudreau, whose top goalie is Devan Dubnyk, said, "It has to stop. We're not putting Kuemps in -- not to throw him under the bus, but I mean we plan on playing him a few more games than we've played him in the past, so sometimes we need that superb goaltending job."
