Texas got off to a good start tonight in Wisconsin, but Milwaukee got the best of the ailing Stars thanks to a five-goal second period. Michael Mersch and Denis Gurianov combined for the first two goals to set the score at 2-0 early in the second. Milwaukee's five spot came in a sequence spanning just under ten minutes of game clock.
The Stars looked to be off to a risky start with two early penalty kills. The fourth line hadn't even touched the ice halfway through the first thanks to special teams time. On the PK, Texas drew a penalty that turned into their first tally of the night.
