 Eller roofed a shot from the bottom of the right circle for a 5-4
lead and Pacioretty added his second goal into an empty net with
1:04 remaining for the Canadiens. Subban scored and set up three
others while David Desharnais and Brendan Gallagher each had a goal
and an assist and Carey Price made 28 saves for Montreal, which
finished its road trip with a 3-2-1 mark.
Tyler Seguin collected a goal and an assist and defenseman Kevin
Connauton set up a pair of tallies for the Stars, who saw their
seven-game point streak end. Rookie Valeri Nichushkin, captain Jamie
Benn and defenseman Brenden Dillon also scored and Kari Lehtonen
turned aside 22 shots for Dallas.
Benn converted a nifty cross-ice pass from Seguin 6:12 into the game
and Pacioretty, who was named to the U.S. OIympic team on Wednesday,
answered 4:48 later after reeling in a stretch pass from Subban.
Desharnais scored from the slot after a backhand feed by Subban 1:35
into the middle session and Nichushkin tied it on a penalty shot at
5:23.

Subban looped through the slot and beat Lehtonen from the
right circle to put Montreal back in front 1:07 later and
Gallagher added a power-play goal 3:30 into the third. Seguin
responded with a man-advantage tally from the right circle at
7:42 before Dillon tied it from the right point 47 ticks later.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Subban, who also had six hits, leads the
Canadiens with 33 points. … Seguin registered his 12th
multi-point effort in his first season with the Stars. …
Montreal F Daniel Briere, who has gone without a point the last
10 games, was a healthy scratch.
