DALLAS – The Lane Hutson show continued in Dallas.

Montreal’s 21-year-old sophomore sensation buried the overtime winner to lift the Canadiens past the Stars, 4–3, at American Airlines Center on Sunday.

Phillip Danault reached a milestone in the victory, recording the 400th and 401st points of his career — the latter coming off a crucial faceoff win that set up the game-winner.

Brendan Gallagher, Oliver Kapanen, and Juraj Slafkovsky found the back of the net in regulation, while Samuel Montembeault was sharp between the pipes, stopping 24 shots to seal the win.
