The Stars captured two critical points tonight in a head-to-head matchup with one of the four teams chasing the last playoff spot. In a crucial 4-on-4 sequence, Texas got a pair of tallies by two veterans within 34 seconds to go from down 2-1 to up 3-2, which would be the final score.
"It was a tight game," said head coach Derek Laxdal. "Every play that we make, every play that we stop, there was a lot of consequences to it, especially when we're down 2-1 and we have to battle back to tie it."
Dillon Heatherington scored the first game-winning goal of his career, a beauty of a backhander on a homerun pass from Erik Condra.
