Boston Bruins vs. Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m on Boston here. The Stars have a solid team on paper, but the problem here is that the Stars haven’t been able to really string any sort of positive results together as of late and I think you could easily see the Bruins nip them here. Boston’s been playing very well as of late, and I look for the Bruins to take care of business here.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Boston +140
