Stars' Recent Struggles and Resilience


In their last outing against the Montreal Canadiens on January 17, 2025, the Dallas Stars faced a tough defeat, managing to score only once against three by the Canadiens. Despite putting up 33 shots and showing resilience throughout the game, they fell short. However, this loss does not define them. The team's ability to create opportunities and challenge opponents has been evident across previous games.


Just days before facing Montreal, on January 15 in Toronto against the Maple Leafs, Dallas showcased what they're capable of when firing on all cylinders. With a commanding four-goal performance that led them to victory, it was clear that when they find their rhythm, they can be unstoppable. Their power play was particularly effective during this match-up as evidenced by scoring two goals out of three opportunities.
