After a strong first period from Iowa, the Texas Stars rebounded in the second to push past the visiting Wild 4-2 at H-E-B Center tonight. Colin Markison was at the center of it all, collecting the game tying goal and assisting on the go-ahead and insurance tallies.
"He's a motor, a guy who can drive any line," said Coach Laxdal of Markison. "He drove some offense tonight just with some great forechecks. Pressure and speed kills."
Markison was everywhere in the second as he scored just 34 seconds into the frame, generated a shorthanded tally with his speed and then found open man Justin Dowling late in the frame.
