Cedar Park, TX - For the second straight night the Texas Stars tallied four goals in the second but were able to tag on several more on as they trounced division rival Grand Rapids 7-4 in front of 5,723 Saturday night at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, completing the two-game sweep as they concluded Hockey Fights Cancer Weekend. Texas got two goals apiece from Matej Blumel and Antonio Stranges along with a 37-save effort from Remi Poirier as Texas prevailed in a game that was not nearly as close as the score would appear.
The Griffins dominated the shots in the opening minutes, however unlike the Stars 4-2 victory over the Griffins on Friday night, a frenzy of goals highlighted the opening period.
