Boston Bruins at Dallas Stars Betting Preview
14 February 2023
There is a full slate of NHL action on Tuesday night, but the best game could be taking place down in Dallas. The Stars are set to host the Boston Bruins, and both of these teams look like favorites to win their respective conference.
Boston has been the best team in the NHL all season long as they come into this matchup with 83 points on the year. The Bruins have gone just 1-4 in their last five games, and they are searching for a way to get back on track.
Dallas comes into this game with 70 total points on the year, and that has them in first place in the Central Division. The Stars have won two of their last three games, and picking up a win in this one would give them a ton of confidence.
The Boston Bruins are the moneyline betting favorites at -124 over the Dallas Stars in this matchup.
Boston Does it All Well
The overall season stats for the Boston Bruins are extremely impressive, and there isn’t an area in which they struggle. Boston is scoring 3.67 goals this season, and they are also holding opponents to just 2.12 goals per game.
The Bruins are also a dominant team on special teams, and that has allowed them to get separation in games. Boston has scored on the power play nearly 25 percent of the time, and they are also killing off 85 percent of their penalties.
David Pastrnak has been the best offensive player for the Bruins this season, as he has scored 38 goals and assisted on 34 goals.
Stars Searching For Offense
The Dallas Stars are scoring 3.3 goals per game this season, but they haven’t been that explosive of late. Dallas has tallied just 11 goals in their last five games, and it won’t be easy to break through the Boston defense in this game.
Jason Robertson is having a monster year for the Stars, as he leads the team with 33 goals and 36 assists. Dallas is not as explosive as the Bruins on the offensive end, but they are great at capitalizing on mistakes from teammates.
Dallas will try to take care of the puck in this game, as they can’t afford to give up many chances to a Bruins team that will make them pay.
Bruins Beat Stars in Showdown
Things haven’t been going well for the Bruins of late, but this is still a team with a ton of talent. The Bruins will also use their defense to slow down the Stars in this matchup, and they will frustrate the home team.
Dallas is having a great season of their own, but they are finally meeting a team that has better special teams numbers than them. The Stars are going to prove to be a tough matchup for the Bruins, but it will be Boston that comes up with the big plays in this one.
Bet the Boston Bruins -124 as they go into Dallas and pick up a big win over the Stars in this NHL showdown on Tuesday night.
