Series Recap.png

The Texas Stars earned a split with the San Diego Gulls last weekend at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park.

In Friday's game, The first period saw both teams trade offensive chances into the final minute when Ayrton Martino funneled a shot towards the net and Harrison Scott and Kole Lind poked away at the rebound in a crowded crease. Lind directed the puck into the net, but the officials deemed it was due to a kicking motion and took the goal off the board.

Texas officially took the lead 4:25 into the middle frame. Jeremie Poirier, in his first home game with the Stars, circled the offensive zone and backhanded a pass to the slot. The puck redirected off a Gulls skate and into the net to open the scoring.

San Diego responded just 1:55 after the Stars’ goal as Nikolas Brouillard lifted the puck into the offensive zone. When it landed, Nathan Gaucher snapped it past Remi Poirier to tie the game.

The Stars pushed hard for the go-ahead goal six minutes into the third period. Matthew Seminoff wristed a shot from the left circle that Calle Clang stopped, the rebound came right back to Seminoff, but Clang had the answer on his second attempt.

The Gulls struck just three minutes later as Cal Burke came out from behind the net, snapped a pass across the slot to Justin Bailey, and he tapped it in to put San Diego in front.

Texas pulled Remi Poirier for the extra attacker with 2:50 to go, but could not find the game-tying marker. Poirier had 22 saves in the loss, while Calle Clang stopped 28 shots in the win, including all 12 in the third period.

In Saturday's rematch, San Diego earned an early lead when Sam Colangelo scored a power play goal on a sharp angle shot from the left face-off circle two minutes into the first period. The Stars had a chance to respond seven minutes later when Nikolas Brouillard was called for hooking, putting Texas on the power play. Cameron Hughes capitalized, finding the back of the net from high in the slot.

With 1:31 left in the opening frame, Tyson Hinds sent the puck between Arno Tiefensee’s legs on a short-handed, odd-man rush to give San Diego a 2-1 lead.

Jeremie Poirier tied the game for Texas 4:18 into the second period, blasting the puck from the right point over the right shoulder of Tomas Suchanek. Poirier has now scored in back-to-back games and has three points (2-1—3) in his first three games since joining the Stars.

Brouillard sniped a shot from between the circles 5:51 into the middle frame to put San Diego back in the lead. Yegor Sidorov added an insurance goal for San Diego 48 seconds later when he turned over the puck in the slot and dumped a backhander past the glove side of Tiefensee.

With 1:42 remaining in the second period, Antonio Stranges lifted the puck over the blocker of Suchanek to pull the Stars within one heading into the second intermission.

Artem Shlaine found the back of the net twice in the first five minutes of the final frame to put the Stars in the lead 5-4. Both goals were set up by Hughes, who recorded the team’s first four-point game (1-3—4) of the season. Brouillard notched his second of the night at 11:21 to tie the game for the fourth time, sending the high-scoring contest to overtime.

Texas needed just 62 seconds to earn the extra point with the overtime winner. Kole Lind broke free from the Stars blue line and raced down the ice, sending the puck into the top of the net while he was being hauled down.

Tiefensee picked up the win after stopping 18 of 23. Suchanek gave up six goals on 36 shots in the overtime loss.
