Last night was Luke Gazdic's first time back in Cedar Park since he left the Texas Stars in the 2012-13 season. The winger's rookie year was Texas's inaugural year in the league, and he quickly became a fan favorite. It was an emotional return, for sure.
"I tried not to put anything out," he said after the game, a 6-2 win for Stockton. "I tried not to tweet anything or write anything because you never know with this stuff. I wasn't sure if I was going to play."
Stockton is sitting a few good veterans each night as they face similar veteran issues to Texas.
