The Texas Stars fell to the Chicago Wolves 4-3 on Friday evening, giving former Stars captain Curtis McKenzie his first win against his former club. Roope Hintz was slotted in between Denis Gurianov and Michael Mersch, the spot recently vacated by Justin Dowling, and feasted with his linemates as Mersch and Dowling tallied two points each, while Hintz finished with a goal and two helpers.
