Despite an excellent first period by the Habs, it was the Stars who scored the only goal of the period.
Wyatt Johnston scored his 11th goal of the season, his eighth on the powerplay.

It was also his 100th career goal.
Again in the second, Montreal didn't play badly, but lacked opportunism.
The Stars were not lacking in opportunism. They scored four times and took a five-goal lead.
