Boston Bruins Notes:

The Bruins suffered their only regulation loss of the season on Saturday in Detroit. It was their consecutive road loss to the Red Wings. Boston won at Dallas last Valentine’s Day 3-2 in overtime on a goal by David Pastrnak. The Bruins have the second-best penalty kill in the NHL and have scored at least three goals in all eleven games.

Dallas Stars Notes:

The Stars are coming off a 2-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks Saturday night that snapped a three-game winning streak. Dallas has scored just three power-play goals in 10 games, which is tied for second-to-last in the NHL. The Stars do own the top penalty kill in the league at 94.4 percent.
