On March 12, Texas was riding high. A five game winning streak had buoyed them to five games over .500 and a seemingly mediocre Colorado team was ripe for the picking in two more contests at the H-E-B Center.
Since that date, the Stars are 1-3-2, collecting just three of a possible 12 points. Two fluky overtime losses at home against Colorado gave way to a 1-2 road trip in Ohio. Now, facing their most daunting schedule stretch of the season, they return home with a chance to get back to .500 against a similarly ailing Iowa Wild club.
