The Boston Bruins<\/a> (42-24-8) are back on home ice for their third-to-last home game of the season. They will host the Dallas Stars (44-18-12), who are closing out a four-game Eastern Conference road trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bruins have been dominant at home this season, with a 27-10-1 record at the TD Garden. They have won 15 of their last 17 home games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pavel Zacha<\/a> has continued to dominate in March, and he leads the NHL in goals scored for the month (13). David Pastrnak<\/a>, too. The Bruins forward is just coming off a 12-game point streak, and he has 20 points in March (7-13\u201320).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stars rank second in the Central Division and the NHL; they also rank second in the NHL and have qualified for the playoffs. They are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and 22-8-8 away from home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stars enter Boston with the league\u2019s second-best power play, and it has not faltered since the Olympic break. However, the B\u2019s posted a 2-for-4 power play showing on Sunday night in Columbus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stars picked up a convincing 6-2 win over the Bruins in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stars are the last team to have an away game at the TD Garden this season.<\/p>\n

Bruins Morning Skate Notes<\/p>\n

The B\u2019s held a morning skate at 10:30 AM at the TD Garden.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Marco Sturm announced<\/a> Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> as the starting goaltender. There are no other line changes.<\/p>\n

Cameron Hughes<\/a> will play for the Dallas Stars. He played in two NHL games with the Boston Bruins and spent 2017-22 playing with the Providence Bruins. <\/p>\n
