The Texas Stars earned a point in back-to-back games last weekend at Canada Life Centre.

In Friday's game, Manitoba struck first with just over a minute left in the first frame. Nikita Chibrikov forced a turnover and then found Brayden Yager for a breakaway, Yager’s 10th goal of the season opened the scoring.

The Stars were called for a roughing penalty 2:48 into the second period and Manitoba capitalized. Dylan Anhorn wristed a shot from the point that Parker Ford tipped to double the Moose lead. Phillip Di Giuseppe tacked on a third Manitoba goal three minutes later off a Stars turnover. 
 
Texas thought they responded two minutes later when Jack Becker tried to stuff a shot in from the goal line and Curtis McKenzie forced the rebound home, but the officials waived it off. 

The Stars were awarded their first power play with nine minutes remaining in the second period, but Mason Shaw flipped a long pass through the air to Walker Duehr, who scored a short-handed goal to make it 4-0. 

Texas was back on the man-advantage with two minutes left in the middle frame. Kole Lind fed Dylan Hryckowian at the bottom of the left circle. The rookie then backhanded a pass to Artem Shlaine, and Shlaine’s one-timer put the Stars on the board. Jack Anderson pulled off some last-second magic as he fired a shot from the left circle that went off of Thomas Milic’s glove and in with one second left in the period. 

McKenzie skated down the left wing on an odd-man rush with eight minutes gone in the third period, snapped a cross-ice pass to Justin Ertel, and Ertel’s shot deflected off a Moose defenseman and Milic before going over the goal line.

The Stars pulled Remi Poirier for an extra skater, and Shlaine tipped a Luke Krys wrist shot past Milic to tie the game with 5.6 seconds remaining.

Neither team could capitalize on overtime power plays, and the Moose received goals from Nikita Chibrikov and Danny Zhilkin to win it in the shootout. Poirier made 25 saves in the loss, while Milic allowed four goals on 36 shots, and added two saves in the shootout for the win.

Sunday's rematch began with Manitoba opening the scoring early when Colby Barlow broke away and sent the puck over the shoulder of Remi Poirier 1:57 into the first period.

The Moose doubled their lead 8:29 into the middle frame when Jacob Julien tipped in a shot from Isaak Phillips from the crease. The Stars responded 50 seconds later, when Cross Hanas sent a hard shot from the left face-off circle sailing past Domenic DiVincentiis.

Texas had a chance even the score when Manitoba forward Samuel Fagemo was sent to the box for holding, putting the Stars on a late man-advantage. Antonio Stranges shot the puck from the half-wall and Dylan Hryckowian knocked in the rebound to tie the game 2-2 with 1:25 remaining in the frame.

Early in the third period the Moose reclaimed the lead when Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Fagemo completed a give-and-go on an odd-man rush. Anderson-Dolan fed the puck across the slot to Fagemo, who scored on the one-timer from the left face-off circle 4:45 into the final frame. Manitoba only held the lead for 35 seconds, as Curtis Mckenzie fired the puck over DiVincentiis’ glove from the right circle off an offensive zone face-off win.

Neither team could pull ahead in the remaining minutes of regulation, sending a second straight game to overtime. Fagemo chipped in his second goal of the game at 2:12 in OT to give the Moose the extra point. Poirier made 38 saves in the overtime loss. DiVincentiis gave up three goals on 30 shots in the win.
