A poor first period doomed the Texas Stars in Manitoba on Monday as they fell to the Moose in a 4-1 decision. This Stars team now bears the ignominious distinction of having the worst losing streak in franchise history.
If you care to keep count, that gives the Stars an 0-7-0-1 record in their last eight. The previous record losing streak came in 2014 when they went 0-3-4 in seven games.
The Stars got off to a promising enough start as they were forechecking hard and creating chances in the offensive zone.
