Texas seemed to have pole position at the halfway point of tonight's contest before ceding three in 78 seconds and falling for the third straight game by a final of 4-2. The game outcome continued Texas's death spiral trend of only winning one game in each series since March 6th. The club is 5-12-2 in that time.
Cole Schneider and Joseph Cecconi were the Stars goal scorers in the early second period but then things came apart. First, on the penalty kill, neither Ryan Shea nor Ben Gleason picked up Scott Reedy coming in for the deflection of Ryan Merkley's initial shot.
