Texas saw their lead evaporate in the second period and fall in the third as Manitoba scored three unanswered goals to beat the Stars 3-2 tonight in Manitoba. Sam Laberge's second period match penalty for head contact on a check was a big turning point as it fueled the opening and tying goals for the Moose. Philippe Desrosiers took the loss with Landon Bow still in Dallas.
Michael Mersch collected the first goal of the game in the second period. It was a Moose turnover that he ran in alone on the breakaway, scoring it after collecting his own rebound.
