Curtis McKenzie Tonight's OT Hero as Texas Goes up 2-0 on Rockford IceHogs

Texas didn't score the first goal tonight, but they did score the last. And that was all that mattered this evening in Cedar Park as the Stars beat the IceHogs to go up 2-0 in the Western Conference Final.

"Our group is resilient," said head coach Derek Laxdal after the 3-2 OT win. "There's not much to say after the third period. Just do what we do best; grind it out. This is what we do."

Curtis McKenzie was the overtime hero tonight, but it's taken a village in OT overall in the postseason. In his postgame comments, McKenzie noted that fourth liners Sam Laberge and Joel L'Esperance each have a game-winner.
