Stars-Bruins preview: Dallas may be in for defensive struggle as it tries to climb back to playoff contention

7:30 p.m. today (FSSW/1310AM The Ticket-96.7FM)

Storyline

The Stars return from an 0-4-2 road trip and need a win to climb back into playoff contention. Dallas is 3-0-2 in its past five home games, so that could be a boost. Boston is actually in the middle of a tough road stretch itself, so maybe that can help the Stars, as well. The Bruins played four road games, one home game and now are back on another four-game road trip. They are so far 2-2-2 in this stretch.

Key matchup

Tyler Seguin vs. Tuukka Rask: Seguin is one goal shy of 40 and on a hot streak with 10 goals in his last 18 games.
