The Dallas Stars won their first road game of the season on Tuesday night in Montreal. And after starting the season 0-3-0 on the road and being outscored 11-3 over the span, you could say it was much-needed.
But it wasn’t just a sixth win that saved the Stars from a sub-.500 record that was impressive; instead, it was how they went about doing it.
After starting out sluggish in the first period, Dallas systematically worked their way back into the game. They strategically began picking the Canadiens apart, built a 2-0 lead in the middle frame, and ended up walking away with the 4-1 win.
