Five in a row was as far as the Stars' streak would get as the Eagles came in strong this evening in the first period to take the second game of the series by a 5-3 score. All the offense Colorado needed came in their four-goal opening frame.
"I thought 5-on-5 our intentions were in the right place, and I think we were ready to go," said head coach Neil Graham postgame. "But I thought some untimely efforts on the special teams swung momentum, and then from there, it snowballed quick on us."
Texas had blown coverage multiple times in the first period, especially in the slot, which led to two of the goals against.
