DALLAS -- Jakub Dobes made 32 saves for the Montreal Canadiens, who scored three straight goals to defeat the Dallas Stars 3-1 at American Airlines Center on Thursday. The 23-year-old goalie has allowed four goals while winning his first four NHL starts, including a 34-save shutout in his debut against the Florida Panthers on Dec. 28.

The players are sacrificing a lot for something that’s bigger than themselves, and you can see it,” Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said.
