The Texas Stars iced a young lineup against an equally green squad in the San Antonio Rampage and picked up a 4-2 victory. The game held many glowing statistical tidbits, highlighted by Denis Gurianov's two goals, one of which was assisted by Robbie Payne for his first career AHL point.
Mike McKenna stopped 32 of 34 shots and had an assist on a coast to coast goal from defenseman Andrew O'Brien that tied the game in the second period. It was McKenna's first assist in a Stars uniform. O'Brien, who had been a regular scratch recently, notched his third goal as a Star.
