The road trip couldn't be going much better as the Texas Stars made it four in a row with a 5-2 win at Grand Rapids this evening. Curtis McKenzie scored a hat trick and Travis Morin and Max French added the other two goals to extend the Stars to four games above .500 and push them past San Antonio in the standings. They now sit 3rd overall in the Pacific, ahead of 4th place San Antonio by a game.
The Griffins and Stars traded goals in the first two periods. Curtis McKenzie scored just as a power play expired and once again actually on the power play to make it 2-2 after forty.
