The most impressive defensive effort of the season for Texas yielded a 3-1 win and the first AHL victory for Philippe Desrosiers tonight in Cedar Park. The Stars defeated the visiting Wolves thanks to their team defense.
"We have to band together," said Coach Derek Laxdal. "One of the messages we've talked about is team defense. Guys had great shot blocks [tonight]. It's a team mentality to start engaging a bit better defensively."
From the drop of the puck, Texas controlled the play. Travis Morin and Greg Rallo had both netted goals before Chicago had picked up a shot on net.
