Roope Hintz is quietly having another strong season, pacing for his fifth consecutive year of 65+ points.
After putting up zeros in back-to-back games, my Bruins vs. Stars predictions expect Hintz to get back on track on home soil.
Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Tuesday, January 20.
Bruins vs Stars prediction
Bruins vs Stars best bet: Roope Hintz Over 0.5 points (-148)
Roope Hintz has produced offense consistently all year long, hitting the scoresheet in 61% of his appearances. That’s a very good number that becomes even better when excluding matchups against high-end defensive teams.
Isolating games vs. teams that rank 15th or worse in points allowed to opposing centers, Hintz has points in 18 of 25 games — a 72% hit rate.
The Boston Bruins have done an excellent job of keeping the puck out of late, but even so, their defensive numbers are nothing to write home about. They sit 15th in goals against per game and 22nd on the road.
Getting Hampus Lindholm back in the lineup will help Boston’s defense, but slowing down Hintz and this loaded Dallas Stars offense is still a big ask.
It’s also worth noting Hintz picked up a point in four of the last five games in which he centered Jason Robertson and Mavrik Bourque, which is expected to be the case tonight.

Bruins vs Stars same-game parlay
Jason Robertson is as hot as anybody when it comes to scoring goals. His 24 since November 11 puts him just one back of Connor McDavid for the league-lead in that time.
Miro Heiskanen has averaged 2.5 shots on 4.7 attempts in Dallas, clearing his line at a 77% clip. The Bruins rank 26th in shots allowed against defensemen, so they’re unlikely to offer resistance.
