Command Analysis

Dallas Stars

Current form
After another successful home game and a confident victory over the obvious underdog Chicago (3:1), Dallas went on an away game. In the first game, the team met with the current leader of the Western Conference, Winnipeg, and was unable to withstand such a powerful competitor, losing with a score of 1:4. The team attack line tried its best to break through the Jets' strong goalie, but out of 33 shots, only one hit the target. But the Stars' goalie did not play so reliably, and even had to be replaced in the second period, after the fourth missed goal. Then the team went to visit Pittsburgh and this time realized its attacking potential to the fullest, leaving no chance for the Penguins (7:1). Many players showed an excellent game, but it is still worth highlighting forward Marshment, who gave four assists and also scored a goal.
Indeed, Sullivan charges occasionally delight fans with very successful away games, but it is still worth noting that the team performs much better at home, where it has suffered only one defeat throughout the season. Thanks to such a confident game at home, the team continues to remain in the playoff zone, currently occupying seventh place, with 18 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas has absolutely no problems with its roster. All players are in the lineup, and the infirmary remains empty.
Interesting trends for betting
On average, Dallas allows 2.35 goals per game.
The Stars have had a very solid defensive performance this season.
On average, the "stars" take 30 shots per game
It is also worth noting the team’s very active play in attack, which allows it to achieve success.

Boston Bruins

Current form
Boston still can't find its best form, due to which it was at the top of the Eastern Conference for two seasons in a row. This regular championship did not start off so well for the team, and at the moment it is only in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, having 18 points. The main problem of the club is its far from reliable defense, and on average it lets in 3.2 goals per game, which is too much even for the NHL. The attacking line is also far from always able to compensate for the lapses in defense, which in total leads to a loss of points.
The Bruins had a short home series of two games, which they started off quite successfully. In the first game, the Bears fought Calgary and had a significant advantage until the middle of the third period, but conceded two goals at the end of the game and allowed the opponent to transfer the game to overtime, where they still snatched victory with a final score of 4:3. The team was unable to consolidate its success, in the match with Ottawa they again failed to show themselves in attack, and in total Boston made 16 shots on goal, which led to a defeat (2:3 OT). Then, Montgomery charges went on the road, where they met St. Louis and took advantage of the weak form of the opponent, winning with a minimal advantage (3:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Boston doesn't have any serious problems with its roster. Only defenseman Peek remains in the infirmary, and Lindholm participation in the upcoming match is still in question.
Interesting trends for betting
Boston averages 2.5 goals per game
A weak defense is not the club only problem. The Bears also cannot show their full attacking power and rarely score a lot of goals.
On average, the Bears take 27 shots per game.
The main reason for the team low performance remains the team poor attacking play.

1.50Tip and bets
This season, Boston looks much worse than Dallas and has not yet been able to consistently earn points. The club performs especially poorly on the road, where it often cannot cope even with obvious outsiders. At the moment, the Bears are not in the best shape and are having a hard time achieving the desired result, unlike Dallas. The Stars suffered only one defeat at home during the entire regular championship, and almost all matches ended in regulation time. We believe that the Stars will once again please the fans and win over the guests.
Our prediction is a Dallas win for 2.00
Bet on total
Both teams have huge attacking potential and try to show it in every match. Dallas will try to play from a position of strength, and if Boston expects to fight back, it will have to play on opposite courses, which will ultimately have a good effect on the overall performance of the match.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.86
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to its superiority over its opponent, as well as the advantage of home walls, Dallas has every chance to create pressure on Boston from the first minutes of the match, which will allow the Stars to earn an advantage in the starting segment.
Prediction - Dallas win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.63
