For the second time in as many nights the Montreal Canadiens went to overtime with an opponent. This time they came away with a 4-3 victory over the Dallas Stars.
The game began with several stoppages in play, making it difficult for both teams to play with a high level of pace or intensity. The game started to pick up slightly after the first few minutes when the whistles became less frequent. The first good chance for the Canadiens came as Brendan Gallagher drove the net with the puck eventually finding its way into the crease from behind the net.
