Matthew Seminoff just followed up a huge Poirier pad save with a painful shot block--then he hit the post on the empty-net attempt that would have sealed the victory. Icing, with 15 seconds left.

Kole Lind is back on the bench for Texas. Good to see.

Kole Lind took a bad hit at the end of the first period. He went down the tunnel, and Nikita Chibrikov has been assessed two minutes for boarding.
Trey Taylor jumped into the fray after the hit, sticking up for his teammate.

We aren't even five minutes into the game, and Texas is up 2-0 on Manitoba. Trey Taylor and Antonio Stranges with the tallies.

It’s been a fantastic day in Cedar Park so far. Looking forward to the Texas Stars game tonight at 7pm vs. the Manitoba Moose.
I think Remi Poirier will be starting in goal. Arttu Hyry skated in a no-contact sweater this morning.

The Stars stumbled after their last break. If they want to keep the momentum they’ve finally regained after this next one, some recent trends might show how they can do just that.
