The Dallas Stars defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 5-2, in Bell Centre to improve to 4-0-1 to start the season.
After a game that saw the Stars spend seemingly half the play time on one side of the special teams battle, Dallas was a little more disciplined tonight. Even though Montreal had four power play chances in the game, a lot of them were shortened by Dallas drawing a penalty from the opposition. For the time they had on the man advantage, Dallas did a good job of limiting their shots against Jake Oettinger. The Stars’ goaltender has allowed only five goals against in his four starts to the season.
