The Texas Stars split their weekend trip to the Midwest against Milwaukee and Rockford.

Saturday, the Stars visited UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena for the second time this season. Texas took an early 1-0 lead when Kole Lind fired the puck past Admirals goaltender Ethan Haider just 1:16 into play. The goal marked Lind's second goal of the season, his first being an empty-net goal back on Nov. 7 against Manitoba.

The Admirals tied the game just over 10 minutes later when Reid Schaefer followed up on a rebound in front of Ben Kraws that hopped over the Texas netminder.
Milwaukee took the lead near the end of the first period when Jordan Oesterle fired the puck through traffic while on the power play that was deflected past Kraws.

In the middle frame, Milwaukee extended their lead to 3-1 when Jake Lucchini received a drop-pass from Cole O'Hara, fired the puck from the slot and beat Kraws.

The third period saw no scoring from either side. Texas added nine more shots on goal but Haider stood tall in net. The final horn sounded and the Admirals skated away with a 3-1 win.

Sunday's matchup brought the Stars to the BMO Center in Rockford, Illinois to take on the Rockford IceHogs.

Joey Anderson opened the scoring just three minutes into the game on a delayed Texas penalty. The Hogs skated six versus five for a few seconds before the goal came off of Anderson's stick and past Stars netminder Remi Poirier. The IceHogs carried a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.

The second period began with a quick goal from Rockford's Aidan Thompson just 14 seconds into the frame. Less than two minutes later, Matthew Seminoff answered for Texas when a chaotic rush led to him shooting the puck past a falling Drew Commesso. The puck trickled past the IceHogs netminder and the Stars had cut the deficit to one.

In the third period, Texas continued to pepper Commesso with shots, logging 11 while Rockford only logged three. Eventually, Texas pulled Poirier for the extra attacker and it paid off. Trey Taylor found newcomer, Samu Tuomaala in the left circle—ready and waiting. Tuomaala fired a one-timer past the head of Commesso that tied the game at two with just under three minutes left in regulation.

No team found the back of the net during overtime.

In the shootout, Rockford began with veteran Brett Seney who was stuffed by Poirier. Cameron Hughes shot first for Texas and beat Commesso high glove-side. In the second round, Rockford sent Anderson to the line who hit the post on his attempt. Lind was up next for Texas but couldn't convert on his attempt. Finally, in the third round, Poirier stopped Thompson and secured the win for Texas, earning them two points in the standings.

The Texas Stars head to Des Moines, Iowa for one game tomorrow, Tuesday, November 18 before heading home for four-straight games against Rockford and Grand Rapids.

The Stars last saw Iowa on October 24 and 25 at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. Iowa took game one 3-1, with goals coming from Gerry Mayhew, Oskar Olausson, and former Stars defenseman, Ben Gleason. Saturday's rematch saw the Stars get shut out by goaltender Cal Petersen in a 2-0 loss.

Texas and Iowa are tied in the standings with nine points although Iowa has played two more games than Texas.

This weekend, the IceHogs take a trip south for a two-game series in Cedar Park. The last two meetings between Texas and Rockford have gone the distance—one to a shootout and one to overtime. In the first matchup, Rockford took home the extra point when Oliver Moore won it in overtime for the Hogs. Moore is currently with the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. In last night's game, the Stars took the win in the shootout.
