Story summary

On October 27, 2026, Cole Caufield and Alex Newhook each scored twice as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Dallas Stars by a score of 5-2. Jakub Dobes made 17 saves in his first win since opening night, helping the Canadiens secure their fourth consecutive victory on a Central Division road trip. Newhook's second goal came early in the second period off a ricochet that Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger failed to see, despite the Stars having successfully killed off 25 of 27 penalties prior. The Canadiens played without captain Nick Suzuki, who was sidelined with an upper-body injury since October 20 and expected to be out for another two-to-four weeks.
