The Texas Stars dropped their second consecutive road game on Friday in another 2-1 loss--this time to the San Jose Barracuda. The effort was there for the Stars, as they peppered rookie goaltender Josef Korenar with 41 shots, but the results weren’t. This was likely an instance in which head coach Derek Laxdal “didn’t mind their game.”

A couple of bounces didn’t go the Stars way in the first period which led to their undoing. Barracuda forward Matt Fonteyne opened the scoring on the power play four minutes into the contest and made the Stars chase the rest of the way.
