Texas needed every last bit of effort from its goaltender, but Maxime Lagace led the Stars to a 4-2 victory. The second-year goalie halted 43 of 45 shots against him for the win.
"We were definitely giving him pats on the pads when we got the chance," said defenseman Andrew Bodnarchuk. "He absolutely stood on his head."
Lagace started last year in the ECHL behind John Muse and Jack Campbell at the AHL level. He elevated his game and earned the AHL starting role after Christmas. He has proven this weekend that he is indisputably the starter for the AHL squad.
