The Texas Stars won a tight checking, low scoring affair 2-0 over the Tucson Roadrunners on Wednesday night, giving them a commanding 3-1 series lead over their Pacific division rivals. They head into Friday’s home game with a chance to advance to the third round of the postseason.
“It was your typical playoff game,” said head coach Derek Laxdal. “It was real tight out there. They had a push at the end with the power play, but I thought our guys managed it well. For us it’s good to get that second win at home. Now we gotta focus on Friday.
