DALLAS — The Montreal Canadiens and Dallas Stars enter their New Year’s Eve tilt at American Airlines Center heading in opposite directions Colorado Avalanche Hats Womens , but both clubs hope to end 2018 with a victory.Montreal (20-14-5) is concluding a six-game road trip and is 3-2-0 on after a 6-5 loss at Tampa Bay on Saturday.“I’d say we played our game. We’re fast, we can create things,” Montreal coach Claude Julien said postgame. “I thought defensively we were closing them quickly. I thought we did a pretty good job of getting on them.”Article continues below ...The Canadiens are 10-7-3 on the road this season.Heading into the third period against the Lightning, Montreal held a 5-4 advantage only to allow the high-powered Lightning offense to score two unanswered goals to prevail by one goal.“There are some things we can take that we did well,” Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher said postgame. “We’ve been decent at that (holding leads heading into the third period) this year, so it’s disappointing to let one slip.”Montreal and Dallas have already met once this campaign with the Stars defeating the Canadiens 4-1 at Bell Centre on Oct. 30.Dallas (20-16-3) is on a two-game winning streak after a 5-1 drubbing of Detroit on Saturday, making the Stars 12-5-1 at home.And even though Dallas started a crucial stretch where 10 of its next 13 contests are on home ice with a victory, rookie coach Jim Montgomery moves forward with guarded optimism about whether these past two wins are signs that the ship has finally been righted.“I think it’s too early to say we’re building anything,” Montgomery said after Saturday’s win. “I think we’ve got to do it over a more extended period of time. In tonight’s (Saturday’s) win there were moments where we were a very good hockey team and there’s moments where we weren’t again. It’s not a consistent thing of how we’re playing together.”One aspect of Saturday’s win Montgomery wants to clean up is the Stars putting the Red Wings on the power play four times Custom Colorado Avalanche Jerseys , leading to Detroit’s lone tall — from Dylan Larkin in the third period.“Not happy with it, I think it took away the momentum,” Montgomery said. “You can’t give refs the opportunity (to call penalties) by taking your stick off the ice. You’ve got to defend with your stick on the ice and you’ve got to skate to the defensive side. We had three stick penalties and one elbow.”As for Dallas’ win in Montreal two months ago, Montgomery said after Sunday’s practice that the victory was one starting goaltender Ben Bishop, who will also start Monday, stole by stopping 34 of 35 shots.“Claude (Julien) is an excellent coach and he’s got them playing real good hockey in my opinion,” Montgomery said of the Canadiens. “Coming off the Detroit game, it’s going to be a much faster game and a harder game for us. We need to be ready for it.”Bishop is 12-4-3 with a 1.73 goals-against average and .936 save percentage against the Canadiens. RALEIGH, N.C. — Two teams sorting through issues on the offensive end meet when the Boston Bruins visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night at PNC Arena.For the Bruins www.bluejacketsshoponline.com , it’s a matter of recovering after a shutout loss.For Carolina, it’s doing something about a power play that has gone to waste too often.Article continues below ...A 3-0 home loss Saturday night to the Montreal Canadiens came without the crisp play that the Bruins have shown they’re capable of producing.“We did not execute well enough,” Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said.The Hurricanes went 0-for-3 on power plays in Sunday’s 2-1 home loss to the New York Islanders. That dips Carolina to 4-for-38 on power plays this season.“Pucks are going to go in at some point,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “The whole group, we get a bounce here or there (and it’s a different feeling).”Carolina captain Justin Williams said the lingering misfortune on power plays is something that needs to be turned around.“Yes, we deserved better,” Williams said. “Players out there have to make plays. … It’s no secret formula. We have to find a way to get one on special teams every night. We need just a little bit more.”For some reason, the Hurricanes often have been full of quality chances in 5-on-5 situations, but those tend to be more spotty when they’re skating with a man advantage.“Maybe we just need to relax and make some plays there Columbus Blue Jackets T-Shirts Womens ,” Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho said. “Sometimes when we have a chance to shoot, we pass. We’ve got to work on it. We have to outwork them on (power plays). We do a good job with that 5-on-5.”Otherwise, Aho has had few difficulties and he’ll go for outright possession of a team record in the Boston game.Aho holds a share of a franchise record with at least one point in the first 11 games of the season.“There’s probably lots of reasons,” Aho said. “You get a lot of confidence there, good linemates.”To keep the streak, Aho probably will have to convert against Boston goalie Jaroslav Halak, who’s 3-0-2 this season.The Hurricanes could turn to goalie Scott Darling for his season debut. This will be the team’s third game since he was activated last week. He was out since suffering a groin injury in the preseason finale.Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is doubtful to play after he suffered a lower-body injury against Montreal. He didn’t practice Monday.On the plus side, it could be the season debut for Bruins defenseman Torey Krug, who has been out since the preseason with a left foot injury.“If (Cassidy) makes the decision to put me in Columbus Blue Jackets Hoodies Womens , I’m going to be ready,” Krug said. “I don’t feel 100 percent, but I feel about as good as I could for the circumstances. … I’m excited to be part of the group again.”The Bruins recalled forward Colby Cave from Providence of the American Hockey League.Boston went 3-0-0 last season against the Hurricanes, with one of the outcomes in overtime.This caps a three-game homestand for Carolina, which doesn’t return home until Nov. 10.
