KEY GAME INFORMATION
DALLAS: LAST SEASON: 40-31-11, 91 points, 5th Central Division. Made Western Conference playoffs as wild card, lost first-round playoff series in six games to top-seeded Anaheim.
COACH: Lindy Ruff, 2nd season with Stars, 40-31-11; 17th season overall in NHL, was 571-432-162 in Buffalo.
ADDED: C Jason Spezza, RW Ales Hemsky; G Anders Lindback, RW Patrick Eaves.
LOST: RW Alex Chiasson, D Aaron Rome, LW Ray Whitney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jamie Benn. In his first season as the Stars captain, the 25-year-old Canadian ranked eighth in the NHL with 79 points and ninth with 34 goals. Both were career highs, as was his plus-21 rating. Benn has increasingly accepted his role as a leader on a team filled with plenty of 20-something players, and is part of a dynamic scoring line with Tyler Seguin.
OUTLOOK: With the experience of a hard-fought first-round series in their first season under veteran Ruff, the Stars expect to do more than just make the playoffs this time around. That is a reasonable goal with their added scoring punch. With Benn and Seguin on the front line, the Stars will have another line with 31-year-old former Ottawa teammates Spezza and Hemsky likely together.
MONTREAL: LAST SEASON: 46-28-8, 100 points; lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference final.
COACH: Michel Therrien, seventh season with Canadiens, 287-224-23-58.
ADDED: D Tom Gilbert, C Manny Malhotra, RW P.A. Parenteau, RW Jiri Sekac.
LOST: C Daniel Briere, RW Brian Gionta, D Josh Gorges, LW Thomas Vanek.
PLAYER TO WATCH: P.K. Subban: The 43rd overall pick in the 2007 draft solidified his status as a top-five defenseman in the NHL following a 2013-14 regular season in which he recorded 53 points (10 goals, 43 assists) in 82 games, and added another 11 (five goals and six assists) in 17 playoff games. And he isn't going anywhere. The Canadiens and Subban agreed to an eight-year, $72 million contract in the offseason.
OUTLOOK: The Canadiens earned the ire of playoff foes Boston and New York for on-ice antics and their off-ice loquaciousness. But teams don't dislike opponents who aren't good. The Canadiens are just that, and should find themselves in the playoffs come April.
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER HOCKEY PREVIEW (DALLAS-MONTREAL) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Stars-Canadiens Preview* =========================

Dallas (21-18-7) at Montreal (29-13-3), 7:30 p.m. EDT

Jason Spezza won't deny that his arrival in Dallas helped create expectations the Stars struggled to meet early in the season.

He's just glad the weight wasn't enough to ruin the season before the Stars reached the All-Star break.

Now, Spezza and the Stars emerge from the layoff looking to sweep the season series from the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night at Bell Centre.

"When you're a team that makes the playoffs and then you add a couple of pieces, the expectations take another step," said Spezza, who was acquired from Ottawa last summer, giving Dallas (21-18-7) more firepower to go with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn.

"Sometimes it doesn't work like that right off the hop," he added. "And we've kind of had a wishy-washy first half, but fortunately find ourselves not too far on the outside with a chance here to make some ground in the second half."

The Stars are four points out of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, and they can thank Seguin for keeping them that close.

The All-Star center is tied with Rick Nash of the New York Rangers for the NHL lead in goals with 28, a big reason why Dallas is fourth in scoring at 3.09 goals per game. The Stars, though, rank 27th defensively with 3.26 allowed.

"We lost a few games and maybe that's part of the reason we couldn't get our traction back there for a little while," said defenseman Alex Goligoski, a veteran of several offseasons without any expectations in Dallas. "That's all history. I think we've settled in pretty nice now and it's a 36-game season."

The Stars went 11-5-2 in 18 games before the break, but coach Lindy Ruff left the impression that Kari Lehtonen wasn't a lock as his top goalie. Lehtonen's 2.98 goals-against average is his worst in six seasons in Dallas, but backup Anders Lindback is sporting a 3.79 GAA.

"Kari is still my guy," Ruff said. "It's a tough place to be because he's the reason a lot of times when we're winning games and there's been some nights he's had some tough ones go in and it's probably the reason we've lost."

Lehtonen only needed to make 16 saves while Seguin scored twice in a 4-1 home win over Montreal (29-13-3) on Dec. 6.

Seguin, second in the NHL with 52 points, has six goals and seven assists in his last eight meetings with the Canadiens, but no points in the last two on the road.

The Canadiens are third in the Atlantic Division, two points back of second-place Detroit and three behind Tampa Bay for first. They're hoping the layoff didn't cool off their momentum, as they went 12-3-1 in their last 16 games.

"It's tight, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun come the end of the season," right wing Brendan Gallagher told the team's official website. "I think a lot of teams will be battling and it's going to be exciting. It's not going to be easy, and we've got a lot of games against those top teams - which will be huge to move up the standings - but right now we've just got to focus on the two points that are up for grabs on Tuesday."

Max Pacioretty, who leads Montreal with 21 goals and 38 points, netted seven tallies with three assists during a seven-game point streak before it ended in last Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win at home against Nashville.

The left wing has failed to get a point in five of six career meetings with Dallas, including December's loss.
