NHL 3 Stars: Anton Khudobin has career night for Dallas Stars in loss
All streaks must come to an end and that is exactly what happened on Monday night.
Auston Matthews was held without a point for the first time in 17 games as the Toronto Maple Leafs were shutout by the Calgary Flames 3-0.
The Carolina Hurricanes had their six-game point streak end at six games in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
First star
Christian Dvorak, C, Arizona Coyotes
Christian Dvorak was awarded a penalty shot in the second period with Arizona down 3-0 to Anaheim and changed the momentum of the game.
Arizona scored four unanswered goals to beat the Ducks 4-3 and Dvorak scored twice, once shorthanded and on the power play.
Christian Dvorak is the third @ArizonaCoyotes player to score a penalty-shot goal in the last 10 years. The others: Radim Vrbata (Dec. 27, 2016 vs. DAL) and Lauri Korpikoski (Nov. 21, 2011 at WSH). https://t.co/anUbRTUvfZ #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/YQhzaLJNcj
