Jason Robertson scored the shootout winner to lift the surging Dallas Stars past the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 for their seventh consecutive victory on Saturday night

Both the Stars and Canadiens have been two of the league’s hottest teams over the last month. Montreal is 11-2-1 in its last 14 games. Dallas has won 10 of its last 12.

Jason Robertson's shootout goal was the difference Saturday as the Dallas Stars extended their winning streak to seven, beating the host Montreal Canadiens 2-1.

Alex Newhook’s deflection broke a tie midway through the third period and unbeaten rookie Jakub Dobes made 32 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Dallas Stars 3-1.

The Montreal Canadiens were taking on the Dallas Stars tonight and were hoping to make up for the defeat they suffered on Saturday.

The Dallas Stars return home after going 4-1 on their five-game road trip, which included a matchup against Thursday’s opponent, the Montreal Canadiens. Dallas has won eight of its last nine games and will look to continue that hot streak against Montreal at the American Airlines Center, where the Stars have dominated their home ice this season.
