It wasn’t a pretty start for the Stars but a second period surge and a double overtime snipe helped Texas stave off elimination and set up a deciding Game 5 on Sunday following tonight’s 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Admirals. It was the second-longest game in franchise history, surpassing a 2OT Game 6, also against Milwaukee, in 2011 but falling short of Game 3 in 2018 by just a few minutes.
“It was do or die, and it was a critical moment of our season,” said head coach Neil Graham. “The guys responded.”
“We trusted our game,” added Oskar Back, who scored the double OT game-winner.
