The Dallas Stars return to the ice tonight after a rare three-day break to host the Montreal Canadiens. It's a relaxed stretch for the Stars, who play just once in a six-day span to start 2017.
The practice time is needed- And the time to rest injured captains, too, after the Florida Panthers stormed Dallas' castle in the first period Saturday night, taking a 3-0 lead and a pound of flesh as well en-route to the win.
The Canadiens, meanwhile, enter off an emotional win for two of their number last night as Shea Weber (goal) and Alex Radulov (assists on both MTL goals) stuck it to their former employer in an overtime win while dominating possession.
