MONTREAL -- Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine returned to the lineup on Saturday night, scoring his club's lone goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars.

Laine, who missed the previous four games with an illness, notched his ninth power play goal of the season in just 14 games, but couldn't prevent the Stars from registering their seventh consecutive victory.

"It's always not fun to miss games," said Laine, who blasted a one-timer during a 5-on-3 power play late in the second period.
