The lone game in the AHL this evening finds the Texas Stars on the road against the Iowa Wild. Texas comes into the contest having dropped out of playoff position and just two points ahead of last place in the division. The rising fortunes of the San Antonio Rampage and Manitoba Moose have given way to an absurd race for fourth place in the Central. Just five points separates a playoff team from the last spot in the table.
The Wild come into the game on a five-game point streak, albeit limpingly. They lost Saturday in the shootout 5-4 after leading against Rockford.
