The Texas Stars kicked off their five-game road trip with a thud in Rockford as the IceHogs handed them a 5-2 loss.
Jake Oettinger got the start in net but was pulled in the first period after allowing four goals on ten shots. It’s arguable that the rookie was blameless on two of the goals, but at least one was a softy, and head coach Neil Graham had to send a message somehow.

An inauspicious start really put the Stars behind the eight ball.
