Eleven short days after two truly unfortunate penalties in overtime cost the Dallas Stars the game in Boston, the Boston Bruins head west for a rematch in the American Airlines Center.
Both teams are on a similar trajectory through this young season. The Stars are 8-5-1 and the Bruins are 8-4-2. The difference is that almost all of the Stars losses have happened on the road while the Bruins have spread their losses out a little more evenly.
In their last meeting, the line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Jason Spezza played most of their minutes against the Bruins line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and David Pastrnak.
