Texas Stars 18-12-3-1, 40 pts, 0.588 #4 Pacific Division | v. | San Diego Gulls 15-13-1-0, 31 pts, 0.534 #6 Pacific Division |
January 3rd at 7:30 PM
H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, Cedar Park, TX
It's time for quick redemption for the Texas Stars. After rattling off a good number of wins in late November and early December, the club has lost three straight. Uncharacteristically, two of those were OT losses.
However, winning with a banged up lineup is going to be a tall order against an improving San Diego squad. Coach Laxdal noted after last game that the Gulls were a team on the rise with a lot of very strong players entering their lineup since the last time the two teams played in early November. Especially notable on Saturday was Eric Fehr. The veteran of 566 NHL games scored two that night and is knocking in points at nearly a one-per-game pace.

Regardless of the injuries, Texas has to find a way to keep the tank full through all three periods tonight. They hung with the Gulls in the first forty on Saturday but faded in the third. Three days worth of rest should help in that regard.
