With a five game losing streak hanging around their neck like the mariner's albatross, Texas played exactly the game they needed to get back into the win column tonight against San Antonio. The extremely tight contest saw the Stars squeak by the Rampage 2-1 with scoring coming from their fourth line and their defense.
"It was a full team effort, a full 60 minutes," said Coach Derek Laxdal. "It had a playoff atmosphere and that's what every game is going to be like down the stretch. It was a hard fought win."
Aiding the efforts was the home debut of newly-acquired goalie Justin Peters, who collected his first win for Texas.
