It may only be 10 days into the new year, but games against divisional opponents can always be revealing when it comes to the makeup of your team. The Texas Stars came into Milwaukee after a dominant 4-1 win against the Rockford IceHogs Wednesday night. The Admirals, who are right on Texas’ heels in the Central Division, made sure that nothing was going to come easy Friday night.
Cameron Hughes and Magnus Hellberg shared the spotlight as the Stars defeated the Milwaukee Admirals 5-2 Friday night at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
Hughes scored the Stars’ second hat trick of the season while Hellberg made a courageous 34-save effort on the way to his 16th win of the season, Hellberg also recorded his first assist of the season in the win.
