The West Coast trip continues for the Texas Stars in their Friday night tilt against the Pacific division-leading San Jose Barracuda. The two teams last squared off on October 27th in Cedar Park as the Barracuda administered a decisive 6-1 beatdown on the Stars.
Since then, the Stars have really rounded into form and turned into a team that can score nearly at will on the power play. They have especially been dominant at home but will be tested in the coming weeks as 18 of their next 27 will be played away from Cedar Park. Their play on the road so far this season has left something to be desired as they have gone 6-9-2-1.
