The Stars recorded a record-breaking loss as they got trounced by the Grand Rapids Griffins 10-1. The nine-goal margin is tied for the worst loss in Texas Stars history. The feat was last achieved by Texas in 2011 against the Oklahoma City Barons, a team that no longer exists.
The top team in the AHL by points percentage truly lived up to their moniker, netting four tallies in the game's first period in a contest that felt over from the moment the puck was dropped. The Stars were coming off a promising weekend series split against Rockford, where the team looked poised to turn a corner on the season.
