This is an 8* on BOSTON

Boston desperately needs a win after being humiliated in consecutive losses to Vancouver and Calgary. The loss to Vancouver took place on the road last Saturday, but will take awhile to forget as the Bruins were beaten 9-2, their worst loss of the season. Then on Tuesday Calgary came to town and won 5-2, handing the B's just their third regulation loss at home all year. This team is too good to lose three in a row, which is something they have done since right after the New Year. The Bruins have the most points in the league and would have even more were it not for an incredibly unfortunate 0-7 record in shootouts. They have won six of the last eight meetings with the Stars including 2-1 in Dallas all the way back in October. Play on BOSTON
