The Texas Stars franchise-worst ninth straight loss, a 2-1 defeat in Manitoba, was a heartbreaker. It came after they played a solid first period only to give up the game's first goal with less than a minute left in the frame. The Stars wouldn't break, and in fact came back to tie it in the second. It would have been a decent road game with a less than ideal result in any other stretch of the season. Texas, for example, outshot the home team by a 2:1 margin. But as it came at the end of an already lengthy winless streak, it was extremely demoralizing to come so close and fall short ultimately.
Stars Play Solid Road Game, But Drop Ninth Straight by 2-1 Score
