Bruins vs. Stars Preview
The best goaltending battle of the evening takes place in Dallas as the Bruins' Jeremy Swayman is expected to face the Stars' Jake Oettinger. Swayman has lost just once across his first seven starts of the campaign, posting a dominant .934 save percentage and 1.85 goals-against average in the process.
Somehow, Oettinger has been even better. Across his first six starts, he owns a .952 save percentage and a 1.00 goals-against average.
He secured a shutout in half of those starts, which is a pretty remarkable feat considering that no other goaltender has recorded multiple shutouts this season. That said, Swayman has been close.
He shut out the New York Rangers earlier this season and has allowed just one goal in three of his past four starts.
Given the recent form of each goaltender, scoring is likely to be difficult to come by.
Pick: Under 5.5 (-102 at DraftKings | Play to -110)
