BOSTON -- To learn more about his new team, Stars coach Jim Montgomery has enlisted help from his predecessor: Ken Hitchcock.
Montgomery said he's talked to the former Stars coach three times since the season started, exchanging ideas off the one-time Stanley Cup winning and winningest coach in Dallas history.
"He's great," Montgomery said. "He's someone I can bounce ideas off of. He gives great insight into the game and also he knows this team well. It's not often we're talking, but the other day after Detroit I called him and he was really good that day in Montreal to figure out how to approach things.
