The Montreal Canadiens secured a 3-1 victory against the Dallas Stars, with Alex Newhook providing the winning goal through a crucial deflection in the third period. Rookie Jakub Dobes was instrumental in the win, making 32 saves and improving his record to 4-0-0, all achieved on the road against teams with winning records.

Newhook's goal, which came after a review concerning the height of his stick, solidified the Canadiens' recent form, now having points in 12 of their last 14 games. Juraj Slafkovsky and Joel Armia also contributed to the scoreline, with Armia sealing the win with an empty-netter. The Stars' Jason Robertson provided the lone goal for Dallas, who have recently struggled after a strong winning streak.
