The regular season of the NHL has already started, the next game day will give us an interesting duel between Boston and Dallas. The battle between these teams will take place on October 17 at 02:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared its forecast for this confrontation for you.
Boston Bruins
Last season, Boston did not perform in the best way and failed in the playoffs. After that, in the offseason, the team lost two veterans Raask and Krejci, who for a long time personified "Boston". The goalkeeper position was strengthened by the signing of Ulmark, there were also several interesting signings in the depth of the squad. "Boston" habitually looks like one of the favorites of the season, although they failed the last meetings of the preseason, giving out a series of defeats.
Dallas Stars
Almost all of last season, the team was haunted by injuries to the leaders, without whom the Texans lost their face. There were no big changes in the composition, all the forces were thrown at preserving their leaders and spot fortifications in depth. If injuries no longer haunt Radulov and Seguin, then the stars will again be a formidable force, which was also shown by the first game of the championship, where Rangers were beaten on the road.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Boston - Lazarus (lower body injury).
Dallas - Bishop (knee injury), Robertson (lower body injury).
Statistics and figures

- Boston has a bad streak of three consecutive defeats.
- He has lost only once to Dallas in his last five matches.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this confrontation, because both teams have played squads. "Boston" has a stronger selection of performers, but is now in bad shape. Dallas has a good stretch now, the team practically does not lose and shows good defensive hockey. I think the teams will play closed, so it's not worth waiting for a lot of goals.
