Montreal is coming off of a game where it blew a three-goal lead for the second time in 10 days while Dallas is on a seven-game point streak having gone 5-0-2 in that stretch. The first time these two teams met, the Canadiens defeated the Stars 2-1 in Montreal on Oct. 29.
The Canadiens blew a 3-0 lead in what eventually became a 5-4 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.
"We were ready to play, but we lost discipline and momentum from our team," Montreal coach Michel Therrien said per NHL.com. "We have been disciplined most of the time, and this is the first time I have seen that. There were some calls that were hard to take."
P.K. Subban leads the Canadiens with 29 points off of six goals and 23 assists while Tomas Plekanec has 13 tallies and 11 helpers for 24 points and Alex Galchenyuk has found the back of the net 10 times and added 13 helpers for 23 points.
The Stars defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 on Tuesday afternoon to extend their point streak to seven games.
"I think we know our identity, and that's to be good defensively and use our team speed when we have a chance," Rich Peverley told the Dallas Morning News "There's not a lot of teams in the league that can skate with us. We have four lines and six [defensemen] that can all skate."
Tyler Seguin has paced the Stars with 39 points off of 20 goals and 19 assists while Jamie Benn has a four-game point streak for a season total of 35 points off of 13 markers and 22 assists and Alex Chiasson has 21 points while lighting the lamp eight times and adding 13 assists.
Carey Price is likely to start for the Canadiens and is 18-11-3 with a 2.15 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage while Kari Lehtonen is likely to suit up for the Stars and is 16-8-7 with a 2.46 GAA and a .921 save percentage.
The Canadiens look to bounce back from a horrific loss while the Stars try to extend their point streak to eight games when the puck drops at the American Airlines Center tonight.
