Four days after a shorthanded Texas Stars squad grinded out a dominant 5-0 victory against the Tucson Roadrunners at home the Stars set out for their first road trip of 2025, hoping to leave behind the inconsistency that plagued them outside the state of Texas in 2024. Wednesday night’s 4-1 win against the Rockford IceHogs was a promising early sign that the Stars may be hitting their stride heading into the second half of the season.
Matu011bj Blümel scored 15 seconds into the game, the fastest goal scored this season, and added a second to extend his points streak to eight games while Magnus Hellberg made a 24-save effort on the way to his 15th win of the season.
