The Stars had won four-straight games prior to the recent mini slump and will be happy to return to home ice. The Stars had gone 1-2 on a three-game road trip with losses coming at the St. Louis Blues and Arizona Coyotes.
The Stars, who sit just one point back of the Chicago Blackhawks in the Central Division but have two games in hand, will look to replicate a 5-3 victory over the Bruins back on November 3. Ex-Bruin Tyler Seguin paced the Stars with a hattrick against the club that shipped him to Dallas in 2013.
The Bruins had been scoring at will until their previous two games. The B’s had cashed the OVER in four straight thanks to a whopping 36 combined goals, but have struggled to light the lamp of late. There have been just five goals scored in their previous two outings, which include a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets and a 2-0 loss to the Nashville Predators in their last game.
