Dallas is struggling to escape its current rut, while Boston is enjoying one of its best runs of the season as I offer my Bruins vs. Stars prediction. 

The Stars are the -178 moneyline betting favorite despite losing 10 of the previous 12 games. On an opposite trajectory, the Bruins have won eight of the last nine. Along with a winner pick for tonight's game at American Airlines Center in Dallas (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT), I'm featuring my best goal-scorer pick.

💰 Bruins vs. Stars best bet: Bruins ML (+146) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Check out all of our NHL analysis and expert predictions this season.

The Bruins charge into Dallas on a six-game winning streak. The Stars, on the other hand, are playing like they've entered a black hole, with the third-worst points percentage (.333) since Dec. 23. 

That abject run includes four straight home defeats. Based on the team's current form, I'm a big fan of the plus-money odds at FanDuel. 

Score prediction: Bruins 3, Stars 2 


🔥 Best Bruins vs. Stars prop bet: David Pastrnak anytime goal (+160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pastrnak is even more lethal against the Stars than he is regularly, scoring in five of the previous six tilts against them. The Bruins' leading scorer has netted one in the last two games but has been quiet on the goal-scoring front otherwise. 

Nothing like a game against one of his favorite opponents to stir his goal-scoring juices. By the way, Dallas allowed four goals in its last four games at American Airlines Center. 

I've got more top NHL player props for Tuesday, while our Liam Fox targets his three best NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today.
