Boston Bruins host the Dallas Stars at TD Garden with playoff positioning on the line, holding the Eastern Conference's first wild-card spot at 42-24-8 (92 points, eight games left) after a dramatic 4-3 shootout comeback win over Columbus on Sunday and a 4-3 OT victory versus Buffalo earlier in the week. The Stars (44-18-12, 100 points, second in Central Division, playoffs clinched) enter a slump, dropping four of their last five including a 2-1 OT loss to Philadelphia on Sunday amid a mounting injury crisis to key forwards Roope Hintz (out until mid-April, lower body), Michael Bunting (day-to-day, lower body), Sam Steel, Nathan Bastian (both out), Radek Faksa and Tyler Seguin (IR). Bruins boast home-ice edge (27-10-1), strong faceoff win percentage (52.5%, sixth NHL), and hot Pavel Zacha (NHL Second Star of the Week) alongside Charlie McAvoy's career-high 57 points, while Stars rely on Jason Robertson's team-leading 87 points but face depth strain on the road (22-8-8 record). Joonas Korpisalo likely starts for Boston after recent strong outing; Jake Oettinger projected for Dallas.
