DALLAS — Tuesday’s game against the Canadiens was supposed to be an oasis in a desert of road games for the Stars.
Montreal is the worst team in the league that entered Tuesday with two road wins all season. It played the previous night in Arizona. The Stars were nigh unbeatable at the American Airlines Center.
It was all a mirage, capped with a frustrating 5-3 loss to a Montreal team that had no business winning on Tuesday night. The loss was Dallas’ third in a row, and fourth in the last five games. It was the Stars’ first home loss since Dec. 14, snapping a five-game home win streak.
