Zubov, Stars hope to keep rolling vs. Canadiens

Dec 23, 2007 - 2:33 PM Montreal (17-12-6) at Dallas (20-12-4) 8:00 pm EST

DALLAS (Ticker) -- Sergei Zubov has been a major reason why the Dallas Stars are one of the NHL's hottest teams.

The 37-year-old Zubov will look to lead the Stars to their sixth win in seven contests when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.

Zubov, who leads all defenseman with 29 assists this season, has had a big impact during the current surge. The 14-year veteran has a goal and eight assists over the last six games and tallied the decisive shootout goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Dallas has won 13 of its previous 18 contests to move into first place in the Pacific Division.

The Canadiens are coming off a disappointing 3-2 shootout loss to the Atlanta Thrashers on Saturday. Cristobakl Huet allowed both shooters he faced in the bonus format to score and Saku Koivu and Sergei Kostitsyn were denied by Thrashers netminder Kari Lehtonen.

Kostitsyn scored a goal and set up another and Alexei Kovalev added a tally Saturday.

Kovalev leads the club with 15 goals and 31 points this season. He has three goals and five assists over the previous seven games.
