Winners of 9 of their last 11 games, the Stars took a radiant 6-0-0 overtime record into Ontario only to have it blemished as the Reign came out on top 4-3. The Stars had the edge on special teams, going 1-for-4 on the power play and 3-for-3 on the penalty kill. They also scored in a myriad of ways--one goal at even strength, one on the power play, and one shorthanded. It wasn't enough to overcome the Reign who had an answer for everything in this game.
Rookie goaltender Cal Petersen got the start for the Ontario Reign, and the Stars had him scrambling for saves in the first period.
