DAL@MTL: Game Summary | Montreal Canadiens

MONTREAL — The clock ran out on the Canadiens' comeback bid in a 3-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Saturday afternoon at the Bell Centre.

Dallas' three-goal second period squelched another strong effort from the Habs' top line, which saw goals from Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkowski to lead the way for the second straight.

With an assist against the Stars, Cole Caufield extended his hitting streak to 11 games, becoming only the second Hab (Max Domi) to reach that mark since Vincent Damfuss in 1993. Suzuki extended his streak to six, while Slafkowski and Mike Matheson scored four consecutive points.

Samuel Montembo made 35 saves in his second straight start for the Canadiens.

Alex Newhook recorded three shots on goal, one shot and one rebound in 18:52 in his first game back from a sprained ankle on Nov. 30.

Rafael Harvey-Pinard left Saturday's game in the middle frame and did not return.
