The Montreal Canadiens prepare for a rematch against the Dallas Stars after a narrow defeat in their last encounter, which halted their three-game winning streak. The matchup will see the Canadiens aiming for revenge as they face the Stars once more just days later. While no practice was held due to travel, speculation surrounds who will start in goal, with Jakub Dobes potentially taking the lead for the Canadiens.

Sam Montembeault's past encounters with Dallas provide a contrasting backdrop, showcasing his mixed success against them. On the other end, the Stars will likely choose between Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith, both of whom have been performing well in their recent games. With key players like Patrik Laine and Nick Suzuki shining for the Canadiens, this game is set to be a captivating battle as the two teams meet for the 145th time, with Montreal holding a favorable historical record.
