A little fist-to-cuffs from Jamie Benn may have been the pep that ignited a Dallas Stars comeback... but it was an overtime play that sealed the deal.
Ben Bishop made 27 saves in his 33rd career shutout, and Roope Hintz had a goal and an assist in the Stars' sixth consecutive win, 3-0 over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night.
Dallas has come from behind for all the wins on its current streak, and this was only the second time the Stars didn't trail going into the third period.
Montgomery said he has checked into an inpatient residential program. He also said his firing last month was "the appropriate call" by the Stars.
In the third period, the Stars scored three goals in a five-and-a-half minute span in front of a sellout crowd against the Nashville Predators.
The Stars cranked up their physical play in the second period and fed off that energy, then broke out with four goals in the third.
It was one power play after another and each helped the Calgary Flames overpower the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center on Sunday.
Leon Draisaitl scored to propel Edmonton's red-hot power play, Mikko Koskinen made 34 saves and the Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 2-1 Monday night.
Rick Bowness woke up as a Dallas Stars assistant coach and finished the day with his first win as an interim head coach, hours after head coach Jim Montgomery was fired.
The Dallas Stars announced Tuesday morning that Jim Montgomery "has been dismissed as the team's head coach."
