The Stars on Wednesday wrapped their entire season into one night.
They put 42 shots on goal and fumbled several great scoring opportunities, they were inconsistent on special teams, they forced overtime and then found a way to lose.
As it has been so many nights for this team, their 4-3 OT defeat at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens was disappointing.
"I thought we beat ourselves," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "They didn't earn it, we gave it away."
The Stars took two penalties early in the third period and Montreal scored on both.
