Happy Tuesday, everyone! No intro today, just straight links. The Stars take on the Canadiens tonight at 6:30 p.m. Central and could really use two points. Let’s go, Stars!
Dallas! Stars!
If you’re looking for somewhere to watch the game tonight, I have just the tweet for you:

Holy schnikes, the Stars got some national media attention:

I have faith that Alexander Radulov can do anything he puts his mind to:
The Stars are confident "ultimate pro" Alexander Radulov can cut out the noise in his return to Montreal.#GoStars | @MikeHeika https://t.co/SV0cLvCwMF

This is promising:
Ben Bishop skated with equipment today and took controlled shots. Hope is he can take part in tomorrow morning's skate. Next step after that is to get into a practice.

Jason Robertson had himself a weekend:

Around the League
Alex Ovechkin entered some pretty rarefied air last night. Only 294 more to go to catch The Great One:

If you need to kill some more time at work, here’s a topical quiz for you:
You just watched Alex Ovechkin score goal No. 600.

So hey: Why not take the ESPN Alex Ovechkin 600 goal quiz, by yours truly?! Lemme know how you did...https://t.co/v12riGyIFw
It was a milestone kind of night for the NHL yesterday:

Down Goes Brown recapped the weekend, including some more hate for goalie interference calls and reviews. I just wanted to add that offsides reviews are awful too, even if they benefit the Stars like one did on Sunday. I understand that getting it right is good, but it’s just kind of lame when a goal is taken off the board due to something that happened potentially minutes earlier:
Last time: Goalie interference can't be fixed. The Flames and Devils probably can be, but they're running out of time. Plus power rankings and more in the Weekend Wrap. https://t.co/xD6TNiuqBT pic.twitter.com/mUuEHghX0I

Yikes:
Ok here is the West. @NHLFlames are in a bad spot! Could turn on last 2 games not meaning much to WIN or VGK. #LAkings have a favorable schedule! #AVS not an easy ride back to post season but @DallasStars ridiculously hard finish 4 home 9 away! #yikes @AnaheimDucks They R in! pic.twitter.com/Yvklff5BQE

The Arizona Coyotes will be without their head coach for a bit:

Roberto Luongo isn’t “sticking to sports,” which is a good thing:

Hopefully this means that the Stars have a decent chance on Wednesday:
