In need of significant points on this seven-games-in-eleven-day stint, Texas came up short this evening against Rockford. Texas scored late to earn a point in extra time but could not score in overtime or the shootout to earn the second.
The Stars got a number of players back in the lineup. Landon Bow backed up Jake Oettinger after missing a pair last week with injury. Nick Caamano played his first since February 4th, also due to injury. Finally, Justin Dowling's return to the Texas Stars saw him add two assists, helping on both of the Stars' goals.
It was a match between two of the worst penalty killing teams in the league, but neither is exactly stellar on the power play.
