For the first time since the 2014 Calder Cup run, The Texas Stars advanced to the second round of the AHL playoffs on Tuesday night, beating the Ontario Reign 1-0 in regulation and ending the series in four games. Veteran goaltender Mike McKenna reached deep into his tool belt and gave the Stars everything he had with a sensational 47 save performance. That runs his streak to 91 straight saves over two games. His less than stellar game two is now a distant memory.
Denis Gurianov scored the lone goal of the contest, notching his second tally of the playoffs in the third period.
