Dallas Stars vs. Boston Bruins: Game Highlights

The Stars also got goals from Jason Robertson, Logan Stankoven and Roope Hintz. Mason Marchment had two assists as Dallas scored four unanswered goals after David Pastrnak gave Boston a 1-0 lead at 11:57 of the first period.

Jeremy Swayman made 27 saves for the Bruins, who cut the Stars’ lead to 4-2 on Justin Brazeau’s goal at 10:41 of the second period. Still down two goals with time winding down in the third period, Boston pulled Swayman.

Hintz supplied the finishing touch with an empty-netter with 2:02 remaining.

Takeaways Stars: A Dallas team that finished with a Western Conference-best 114 points last season won four straight to begin the season before dropping two of three prior to facing Boston. Featuring the NHL’s top penalty kill unit, the Stars were successful on three of Boston’s four extra-skater opportunities.

Bruins: Pastrnak returned to the scoring column after getting held off the scoresheet and posting a combined minus-four in Boston’s previous two games.

Key moment Seguin’s second-period goal capped off the Stars’ dominance on the power play and epitomized the problems the Bruins ran into on the penalty kill.

Key stat A Bruins team that entered Thursday’s game ranked second in the NHL in penalty minutes and allowed six opponent power-play goals through seven games allowed the Stars to score three times on the man advantage over a nine-minute span in the second period.

Up next Stars: Return home to host Chicago on Saturday before heading to Finland to play Florida twice.

Bruins: Host Toronto in the middle game of a three-game homestand on Saturday night.

This story has been updated to correct that Dallas plays one game at home before playing two in Finland.
