Sometimes, you can seemingly do everything right and still come up short of your goal. That’s what the Dallas Stars did on Monday night against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Stars put up 47 shots on net and seemed to dominate the final 40 minutes of the contest after a slow start, but ultimately couldn’t hold onto a 2-1 lead. The Canadiens forced overtime and made quick work of Dallas in the extra frame, sending the Stars home to celebrate the New Year with one less point than they would have liked.
