DALLAS -- For just one game, there was much to digest Tuesday.
The Stars lost a 5-3 home contest to the team with the worst record in hockey, which was playing on the second night of a back-to-back. They now are 1-4-0 in their past five games and losing ground on a vicious battle for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. And they continue to struggle to convert golden scoring chances as they get ready to head out on the road, where they've tallied five goals combined in their past six games away from home.
Heika's Take: Loss to Canadiens has Stars inching toward do-or-die mode
Sure, Dallas recorded 51 shots on goal and generated 110 shot attempts, but losing to Montreal on home ice at this juncture of the season is a tough pill to swallow
