In a game that was ultimately meaningless in the standings, the Texas Stars boosted their confidence heading into the playoffs with a 4-3 OT victory over division-rival San Antonio.
"It was an exciting game for the fans," said Coach Laxdal, referring to the sellout crowd for the finale. "It was a good building and atmosphere, and hopefully we can have that in the playoffs."
With playoffs on the horizon, Texas rested many veteran players and some who were banged up. That gave a youthful vibe to the lineup. Jason Dickinson, fresh off his junior career, had two assists, each on Matej Stransky goals.
