Texas Stars Earn OT Point, Tucson Takes Two in 2-1 Contest

The Texas Stars earned a point but gave up two to the visiting Tucson Roadrunners with an overtime loss at home Saturday night. The Stars led most of the way thanks to an early 5-on-3 goal from Justin Dowling, but a deflection in the third tied things up, and overtime was unkind to Texas.

"I thought we came out hard with a lot of energy," said Dowling. "Sometimes it's hard to come out with energy when you have a week off. It's easier when you're back to back. It was a great response."

The game had a playoff feel to it as two teams in the top four of the division played a tight one.
