In what has become an unfortunate trend on this road trip, Texas fell behind early and could not overcome the deficit, losing by a single goal to a Stockton team that they should have beaten. After hitting 2-0, the Stars and Heat exchanged goals as Texas got within one goal twice.
The story of the contest was the unexpected play of Tyler Parson in net for the Heat. It took 31 shots before Texas pierced the netminder, and the Stars eclipsed 50 shots in the contest overall. For a team that averages four goals against per game, the Heat did not look it tonight.
