The Texas Stars endured a calamitous loss in their makeup game against the Toronto Marlies on Saturday, giving up three unanswered goals in the third period in a 3-2 decision.
All was well for Texas with sixteen minutes to go in regulation and a 2-0 lead. Nick Caamano scored on a lucky play four minutes into the first period with a backhand fling that bounced off Marlies goaltender Joseph Woll’s back and into the net. Joel L’Esperance followed suit with a wraparound goal with five minutes left in the middle frame.
Stars blue chip goaltender Jake Oettinger looked every bit the future starter in Dallas as he mostly controlled the contest with 22 saves heading into the third period.
