When the betting public considers what to do with the NHL lines the Dallas Stars are often an afterthought. Dallas is in the thick of the Western Conference race for first but has not enjoyed high profile playoff success that anyone remembers, at least since their 1999 Stanley Cup title. For the Boston Bruins perceptions are entirely different. The Bruins made the Stanly Cup Final last year and also in 2013 while actually winning the Cup in 2011. Furthermore, they have been one of the most popular teams in the game for multiple generations, dating back to the days of the Big Bad Bruins in the early 1970’s with Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and a memorable cast of championship characters.

Boston will get a lot of square and fan money as the popular NHL odds home favorite that has been steamrolling its schedule. Sharps will give Dallas first look as a quality road team that has strong defense and goaltending with nothing in the way of public money inflating their price.

Dallas Stars vs. Boston Bruins NHL Odds Pick
Dallas will enter this game as an underdog with the proven capability of getting the money on the road, as a dog, and at Boston. Defensive teams often bring their best wagering value on the road and that is certainly the case with the Stars. Boston is not an easy team top oppose but the price will be too high on the B’s and right for the quality contending Stars.
