The Stars continue their 3-in-3 weekend with a pair of matinee games in Des Moines. The clubs have only battled once so far this season, a 5-4 overtime victory for Texas on December 5th. Since that contest, Iowa has been strong. The Wild have achieved a 14-7-3-3 record since December 5th and come into today's game on a three-game winning streak. Texas is 12-9-5-1 in the same span.
A big part of their play in the new year has been Niklas Svedberg.
