Dallas Stars News & Notes:

The Stars have won their last five games and are in a tight race against the Colorado Avalanche for third in the Central Division standings. Dallas has some cap flexibility with Tyler Seguin’s injury, giving them plenty of options at the trade deadline.

Montreal Canadiens News & Notes:

Montreal has been on a tear lately, winning four of their last five and two points behind the Boston Bruins in the Atlantic Division. The Canadiens could get into a Wild Card position with a win today.

Players To Watch:

Dallas Stars

Jason Robertson had two assists in the Stars last game; with 34 points in 40 games, Robertson still has room to improve to help get Dallas’ offense going.

Montreal Canadiens

Patrik Laine did not play last night and is questionable for this evening’s game. He has six goals and 8 points in his last 10 games. His offensive production helps this Habs lineup; he has been goalless in his last four games.

LW Mason Marchment – Week to week

Montreal Canadiens

C Rafael Harvey-Pinard – IR – Out four months
