  "account": "On Thursday night, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Dallas Stars 5-2 at the latter's home arena. Cole Caufield and Alex Newhook each scored two goals for Montreal, while Jakub Dobes made 17 saves in his first win since opening night. Phillip Danault added an empty-net goal and an assist, and Wyatt Johnston contributed a goal and an assist for the Canadiens. For the Stars, Jake Oettinger, who had a 1.43 goals-against average entering the game, allowed a season-high four goals on 20 shots. Caufield opened the scoring with a one-timer just seven minutes and 24 seconds into the game. Newhook broke a 1-1 tie six seconds into the second period with a goal that evaded Oettinger. Newhook continued to score, adding a goal early in the second period that came after the Stars' top-ranked penalty kill failed. Dobes replaced Jacob Fowler, who had been on a six-game winning streak, and had allowed 20 goals in his previous four starts. The Canadiens have won four straight games, all at Central Division rinks, without captain Nick Suzuki, who was out with an upper-body injury.",
