DETROIT — The Dallas Stars are beginning to play the way they want to and the Detroit Red Wings aren’t.Detroit plays host on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena to Dallas (5-4-0) http://www.arizonacardinalsteamonline.com/josh-rosen-jersey , which has won its last two games after struggling to begin the season.After the Stars’ 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night in Dallas, Dallas first-year coach Jim Montgomery told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: “If you look at a picture of what Stars hockey should look like, that’s tonight. We possessed the puck. We were fast and physical. We defended well.”Article continues below ...Dallas does not lack offensive firepower. Center Tyler Seguin is the team’s top point producer with three goals and 11 points, right winger Alexander Radulov has four goals and six assists, defenseman John Klinberg leads the Stars with five goals and has nine points, captain and left winger Jamie Benn has four goals and four assists, and center Jason Spezza has contributed two goals and eight points.“We’re trending the right way and there are going to be a few more bumps in the road,” Montgomery said. “But sooner or later we are going to get to the level of play that you saw tonight. And it’s going to be fun for the city and fun for the fans.”Detroit (1-7-2) has the NHL’s worst record after Friday night’s 2-1 home loss to the Winnipeg Jets.The Red Wings led 1-0 after a solid first period but were dominated in the final 40 minutes. They were outshot 31-13 in the second and third periods and took too many penalties in the second period.But that was a much better effort than Detroit’s 3-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday at Little Caesars Arena.“The compete was way better, no doubt about it,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “We came out in the first Josh Rosen Jersey Limited , I thought we carried the play and we didn’t score on chances that we had opportunities to score on. I thought we could have walked out with a better lead. So I thought the effort and compete was very good.”Only a spectacular performance by goaltender Jimmy Howard, who made 38 saves, kept Detroit in Friday night’s game.“I think Jimmy’s played really well and obviously the second period (when Winnipeg outshot Detroit 21-4) he was outstanding, outstanding,” Blashill said. “They had some real good chances and they’re real shooters and I thought he was outstanding.”Friday night was also the season debut of Detroit defenseman Mike Green, who had been recovering from a virus that attacked his liver. He was minus-1 and had five shots in 20:27 of ice time.“I thought Greener was pretty good,” Blashill said. “He hasn’t played a game in a long, long, long time. I thought he came in and did a pretty good job.“He pushed the puck out of our zone. I thought he was good offensively, so I thought he did a good job.”The Red Wings have only 21 goals in their 10 games and two in their past two games Authentic Julio Jones Jersey , both scored by forward Andreas Athanasiou. BOSTON (AP) — Carey Price knew he had a lot of help in front of him and was more than willing to credit them.Price stopped 33 shots for his first shutout of the season, collecting his 290th career win with Montreal to move into second place in team history in the Canadiens’ 3-0 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.“Shutouts should be a team stat, really,” he said. “Everybody did an excellent job on defense tonight.”Price moved ahead of Hall of Famer Patrick Roy and is now only behind Jacques Plante — another Hall of Famer — who collected 314 victories with the Canadiens.Brendan Gallagher and Max Domi scored 1:21 apart midway into the first period and Price took over from there.“We did what we had to do in the third period to protect the lead and get the win,” said Canadiens coach Claude Julien, who coached Boston’s 2011 Stanley Cup-winning team.The Canadiens snapped a six-game losing streak against the Bruins, with the last victory coming at home on November 8, 2016. It was Price’s 41st career shutout.“It’s always nice to get that,” he said of the shutout. “A little bit of icing on the cake.”The Bruins lost for the first time at home this season after winning their first four – all in regulation. They were the last NHL team to lose at home. Tuukka Rask made 20 saves.Gallagher gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead 9:18 into the game when he beat Rask on a tough-angle shot. The winger fired a wrister from the right circle that slipped into the net between Rask’s left arm and the post.During a delayed penalty, Domi’s hustle led to his goal that made it 2-0 at 10:39. Artturi Lehkonen was hooked breaking in alone and the puck slid behind the net where it collected it and sent it out front. Domi charged in Julio Jones Jersey Limited , got the puck and shifted Rask out of position before firing it into the net under the cross bar.The game lacked any real intensity in the first meeting of the season between the longtime rivals; mainly because Montreal dominated defensively, limiting Boston’s chances with tight defense.“There’s a lot of things that we didn’t do,” Boston’s Patrice Bergeron said. “Obviously, he’s a great goalie, but I don’t think his job was very hard tonight.”The Bruins pulled Rask with just under three minutes to play for an extra skater, and even that didn’t get them any good scoring chances before Jordie Benn banked home any empty-netter with 29 seconds left.Boston’s Ryan Donato had a goal waved off early in the second period after a coach’s challenge. The play was ruled offside after a replay review.Boston’s lack of offensive punch in the opening two periods did very little to excite the sold-out crowd. Even a video showing Red Sox highlights only brought loud cheers for a few seconds.“They have a lot of smaller forwards who are able to get in on the forecheck and force teams to make plays they don’t want to,” Boston defenseman Matt Grzelcyk said. “They did that to us pretty well tonight.”Montreal’s defense did a good job of giving up most of the shots from far outside where Price was able to handle them easily. The Bruins’ best bid came in the closing seconds of second period when Price made a splendid glove save on Joakim Nordtsrom’s wrist shot.NOTES: Domi extended his point streak to six games (five goals, three assists). … Bruins D Charlie McAvoy and F David Backes each missed their fourth straight game with what the team called an upper body injury. … Price entered with a solid regular season record in his career against Boston: 24-11-5 with a 2.42 goals-against average. … It was the Bruins’ 390h straight sellout at TD Garden.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.Bruins: At the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.
