Bishop, Shore shine in Stars’ win in Montreal
Ben Bishop turned away Artturi Lehkonen on a potentially game-changing penalty shot, and Devin Shore and the Dallas Stars rolled from there.
Shore had a goal and two assists, Bishop stopped 34 shots and the Dallas Stars beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Esa Lindell and Miro Heiskanen also scored, and Alexander Radulov added an empty-netter for Dallas, which won on the road for the first time this season.
In the second, Lehkonen was awarded a penalty shot after John Klingberg slashed him on a breakaway. Lehkonen tried going five-hole, but Bishop made the easy save.
“I was just trying to read his body language,” Bishop said. “I kind of had a sense that he was going to go fivehole. I guess I was right that time.”
With the Stars leading 2-1 in the third, Shore added a short-handed goal at 9:27 Dallas’ first short-handed score of the season.
The 24-year-old Shore had five points in 10 games this season before Tuesday.
“I tried to just skate and win as many battles as I could,” Shore said. “In the game of hockey, sometimes you’re doing everything right and you can’t buy one. Sometimes you play like crap and you get points. You try not to look at your points as a measure of success.”
The Stars’ Jason Spezza played in his 1,000th career NHL game.
