Boston at Dallas

The Boston Bruins got off to one of the fastest starts we have seen in a long time. They have hit a bump in the road as Boston has now lost four of its past five, dating back to Jan. 26. This team was defending everything, but that has been the change. The Bruins went 10 games allowing a total of 15 goals, but have now allowed 15 in their last five. Dallas has played UNDER eight-straight games, and while that will have a lot of bettors lining up on the low side, my database suggests we are in for some scoring tonight. When a team enters a game having played eight or more consecutive games that went UNDER the total, the OVER is 55%. In a non-conference tilt between two heavyweights, I like the OVER.
