Stars Prepare to Face Bruins Again, Focused on Building on Heiskanen's Achievements

Wednesday, November 13th, 2024

The Boston Bruins will face off against the Dallas Stars on Thursday at 8 p.m. EST, following a standout two-goal effort from Miro Heiskanen in Dallas' impressive 7-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Stars have a strong home record of 6-1-0 and currently hold an overall record of 9-5, with a scoring advantage of plus twelve. In contrast, the Bruins have a record of 3-4-1 in away games and an overall standing of 8-7-2, performing well when committing fewer penalties than their rivals, with a record of 4-1-0 in such cases.

When the teams last faced each other in October, the Stars triumphed with a 5-2 win, largely due to Heiskanen's two-goal contribution. The Bruins will be eager to avenge that loss as they look to enhance their performance on the road.

Leading the Stars’ offensive charge, Matt Duchene has contributed eight goals and ten assists, while Logan Stankoven has been finding the net consistently. For the Bruins, David Pastrnak is the top scorer with seven goals and nine assists, and Mason Lohrei has also been effectively involved in recent games.

In terms of recent form, both teams show similar performance trends. The Stars have averaged 3.4 goals per game over their last ten matches, and the Bruins have averaged 2.2 goals. Dallas has shown slightly better discipline with an average of 3.6 penalties committed per game.

Neither team currently reports any injuries.
