The Texas Stars are currently riding a 9-1-0 hot streak, catapulting them to the top of the Central Division (by points percentage). This recent surge is attributed to their depth, solid goaltending, and the strong team camaraderie they have fostered throughout the season.
Their first three wins on this string of victories came at an unlikely juncture in the Stars’ schedule. Just three days after their AHL All-Star defenseman Lian Bischel was recalled to Dallas, the Texas Stars defeated the division-leading Grand Rapids Griffins 3-2 in overtime twice with a shutout against the division's then-second place team, the Milwaukee Admirals, sandwiched in between.
