Texas came out of the gate hot tonight and never cooled off. The power play came back to life and Curtis McKenzie had a hat trick, his second pro trick, and added two assists to boot. The Gulls managed just 15 shots on Landon Bow, who earned his first win of the season in the 6-2 contest. Max French also scored his first professional goal.
Even with McKenzie's hat trick, the big story of the night was the power play. Ranked 30th in the league, the Stars were showing little to no life on the man advantage. Given six opportunities this evening, Texas converted on three.
