The Texas Stars lost an exhilarating 4-3 contest in overtime to the Laval Rocket. Anthony Louis scored a last-minute goal to send the game to overtime but the Stars were unable to find a winner in the extra frame.
Even though the penalty kill units have been strong for the Stars this season, giving up five power plays in the first two periods ended up leading to a costly Laval goal. The PK was 4-for-4 to start the night but a costly fifth opportunity given up at the end of the second period allowed the Laval PP to finally find their way through.
