The calendar has flipped to 2019, and the Texas Stars are trending in the right direction heading into Friday night's home game against the Manitoba Moose.
For one, they have collected 14 of a possible 20 points over their last ten games. Their second ranked power play has become the strength of the team, but they can also hang with anyone at even strength. In the last several home games, it has seemed that they can score almost at will. Their confidence in their offensive game is through the roof right now.
Secondly, Texas gets a big gun back in Denis Gurianov as he we reassigned to the AHL on Thursday.
