Dallas Stars - Boston Bruins: Match Preview
Dallas put on a dazzling performance in their previous game, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 7-1 on the road. They scored six goals in just the first period. However, in their last five games, the Stars have lost three times and won twice. They currently sit in seventh place in the Western Conference standings with 18 points, maintaining a two-point lead over the ninth-place team. Dallas has been inconsistent recently, though they had an incredible start to the season with nine wins in their first ten games.
The Boston Bruins have lost seven times (once in overtime) and won four times in their 11 games this season. The Bruins have not been delivering consistently strong performances and currently hold eight wins, just like Dallas, with 18 points and a spot in seventh place in the standings. In each of their last four games, Boston has allowed at least two goals. The Eastern Conference is highly competitive and tightly packed. The Bruins trail the conference leader by only six points, with two games in hand. It seems that after a rocky start, the team is beginning to find their form.
Prediction
Both teams are still working to find their rhythm and are fighting for a playoff spot. I think we’re in for an exciting game, and I’m betting on a total over 5 goals with odds of 1.5.
