LiontipsBoston vs Dallas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 17, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Boston Bruinshave signed several new players in the offseason, for example, Tomas Nosek and Erik Haula have joined the roster instead of David Krejčí and Nick Ritchie, who left the team. The Bruins finished the preseason series on a three-game losing streak.
They lost to Rangers (3:4), Philadelphia (1:2), and Washington (3:4). All the Bruins' games ended outside regulation time. The Bruins are yet to play a game in the regular season.
The Dallas Stars have already played one game in the regular season. The Stars went against the Rangers and won in overtime with a score of 3:2. Dallas had a chance to finish the game in regulation, but they failed the second period and lost their two-goal advantage.
The Stars were quick and showed solid play in their own zone. Braden Holtby was tending the goal until the 49th minute and then he was replaced by Anton Khudobin. This tandem of goalies looks pretty amazing.

Our prediction - Dallas to win with an Asian handicap (+1)
The games between these two teams are rarely high-scoring. Neither Boston nor Dallas can get through the opponents' defenses. We suggest playing the total under.
