Montreal at Dallas

Montreal heads to Dallas as a dog, but ranked fourth in the NHL in goals scored, third in goals allowed and in penalty killing. The offense has been in a slump but is still loaded with talent and faces a Dallas defense that is #16 in goals allowed, #20 in penalty killing. Montreal registered a season-high 45 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to Los Angeles, going scoreless on three power-play opportunities. Rookie Mike Condon has allowed three goals or fewer in four starts and current backup Dustin Tokarski has surrendered only seven goals in three starts this month. The Canadiens are 16-7 when playing on one day of rest and a strong 9-4 on the road. The Dallas Stars have cooled off with two losses in three games. They suffered a home loss with a 3-1 defeat to Calgary on Thursday. Dallas hasn't received much production from its power play of late at 2-for-30 in the last nine games and scoreless on its last 16 chances. With the Canadiens 39-14 in Saturday games, jump on the talented big dog and play Montreal.
