BOSTON -- Road games in the NHL can be unforgiving, with the pound of travel and the buzz of foreign buildings and the opportunities for inconsistencies. The Stars entered Monday night's eventual 2-1 overtime loss at Boston on a three-game wave of victories in a variety of ways.
In Montreal, they won despite a massive shot-attempt differential and because of huge efforts from Devin Shore and Ben Bishop. In Toronto, Anton Khudobin shined early and he shined late as the Stars held on tightly for a win. In Washington, they capitalized on turnovers and Jason Dickinson's overtime winner.
