This has the makings for a big matchup, as both teams only have one regulation loss. The Bruins are 5-1-0 coming in, while the Stars are 4-1-1, and surprisingly both suffered their only regulation loss to the Ottawa Senators.
Dallas played last night against the Senators, and the Bruins have been off since the matinee on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild, so they have to take advantage of a more tired Stars team.
Jim Montgomery announced that Linus Ullmark will start his third consecutive start tonight, making for a terrific goaltender matchup. Ullmark comes in with a 4-0-0 record, a 2.23 GAA and a .929 SV%, while Jake Oettinger of the Stars is also 4-0-0, with a 1.25 GAA and a .959 SV%.
