"It's nice to get the first goal and kind of ride the momentum from there," Canadiens center Nick Suzuki said. He had two assists and leads Montreal with 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) this season.

"We scored five goals, but Monty played unbelievable. He had some huge save that probably won the game for us."

Jacob Peterson, Tyler Seguin and Joe Pavelski scored for Dallas, which never led. The Stars have been outscored 15-5 during a three-game losing streak.

Dallas fell to 14-4-1 at home. The Stars outshot the Canadiens 51-22.

Oettinger allowed a career-high five goals, with 14 saves.
