Jake Oettinger looks to avenge a brutal blowout loss as Dallas faces a surging Montreal squad anchored by the unpredictable and high-stakes goaltending of Jakub Dobes.

Tapping Trey Taylor for his NHL debut, Dallas pivots to the physical blueliner to bolster a depleted defense as they prepare for a showdown with Montreal.

Kyle Capobianco, Kole Lind and Antonio Stranges unsurprisingly cleared waivers Monday, meaning the three veterans from last season will once again be a part of the roster in Cedar Park this year after officially getting loaned to Texas.
