Down the road from the United Center, where the Dallas Stars picked up a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, the Texas Stars struggled to match their parent club in a 4-2 loss to the Wolves. That leaves Texas with a 1-2-0-1 record for this road trip.
It was good to see forward Joel L’Esperance back with the AHL club, as the rookie sensation picked up right where he left off with two power play goals in the third period. The tallies gave L’Esperance seven goals in his last seven games with Texas.
His first came when Texas was down 3-0 six minutes into the final frame.
