The Texas Stars edged the Rockford IceHogs 6-5 in a thrilling overtime game, putting a stranglehold on the series with a 3-0 lead. Stars captain Curtis McKenzie turned in a three point game and had the game winner. It was the seventh time in this postseason that the Stars have played in overtime.
Austin Fyten, who was injured for the past fifteen games, drew into the lineup for the ailing Remi Elie and tallied a big goal late in the third period to give the Stars a momentary lead. Sheldon Dries, Justin Dowling, and Jason Dickinson all pitched in with two points a piece.
