After a tumultuous week at home, Montreal will seek greener pastures in a mini two-game road trip, starting with a matchup against the Dallas Stars this evening.
The Canadiens (8-11-2) capped off a six-game home stand with a disappointing 2-3-1 record, including two shutout losses to both the Minnesota Wild last Thursday and this past Saturday by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Along the way, they also helped the lowly Arizona Coyotes obtain their first regulation win, who beat the Habs 5-4 Thursday.
Montreal has been shutout four times this season in 21 games, whereas the entire 2016-17 season saw them shutout six times through 82 games.
