The Texas Stars vaulted themselves in the fifth place with a solid two points against the visiting Tucson Roadrunners this evening in Cedar Park. The Stars made their mark in the third period, earning two quick goals to put Tucson on its heels and ultimately salt away the game.
"Points are just points for us right now," said Brandon DeFazio, who scored the final Texas goal. "We need them all; it doesn't matter who we're playing."
Despite DeFazio's statement, these were two points against the exact right team. Tucson is currently in fourth place and this win both raised Texas and lowered the Roadrunners in the same stroke.
