Through this weird and winding COVID year, we've finally found ourselves at the end. Tonight's game marks the final home series of the season for the Texas Stars. They sit one game below .500 hockey at home (6-7-3) and one game below overall as well.
The Roadrunners, who looked formidable when Texas faced them in March, have faded. The Stars' series against them was actually the beginning of the unwinding. After losing three straight to Texas, Tucson is 7-12-2 since. Somewhat ironically, Texas is 7-12-3 since the same meeting.
Texas looks to close the year with some positivity towards the future in the lineup as well.
