The Boston Bruins currently own the top record in the NHL as they have compiled 90 points, but they will need to break their 2-game losing streak if they want to stay pace on the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Boston Bruins have one of the top-scoring duos in the NHL as David Pastrnak has compiled 88 points this season while Brad Marchand is pitching in 79 points, but they will have a tough matchup with a Dallas team who ranks 2nd in the NHL in goal allowed (2.51). While the Dallas Stars are one of the best defensive teams in the NHL, the Boston Bruins are the only team better than them in keeping opponents off the scoreboard (2.46), and a huge reason for that is the success of Tuukka Rask who has a GAA of 2.22. The Boston Bruins are essentially unbeatable at home this season with a 21-3-9 record, and they will edge out the Stars here. Final Score Prediction, Boston Bruins win 3-1.
