DALLAS — Alex Newhook's deflection broke a tie midway through the third period and unbeaten rookie Jakub Dobes made 32 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Dallas Stars 3-1. Newhook's goal stood up following a replay review to check the height of his stick while he was tied up with Dallas' Wyatt Johnston just outside the crease. Dobes improved to 4-0-0, with all four victories coming on the road against teams with winning records: Florida, Colorado, Washington and Dallas. The 23-year-old goalie was brought up from Laval of the AHL following the NHL's Christmas break to back up Sam Montembeault. Juraj Slafkovsky and Joel Armia also scored for the Canadiens, who are 11-2-1 in their last 14 games. Armia's goal was a last-minute empty-netter. Jason Robertson scored for the Stars.
