Boston at Dallas

Boston probably has the best line in the league with Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron as all three recorded more than 30 goals. Defensively, the Bruins finished third in goals against even though five defenseman suffered injuries at one point or another. The Bruins have a veteran team and feature Tuukaa Rask in goal although he only had to play 46 games last season due to Jaroslav Halak filling in. Rask had a 2.46 goals-against average compared to 2.34 for Halak. Dallas comes off an impressive season and took eventual champion St. Louis to a Game 7 in the second round. Ben Bishop enjoyed a .934 save percentage and 1.98 GAA. Boston lost in Game Seven of the Stanley Cup Final and returns mostly the same roster. Boston ended the playoffs winning six of its last seven road games and the Bruins are 40-14 their last 54 versus Western Conference teams and is getting good value here. Play the Bruins.
