The Texas Stars swept the Manitoba Moose last weekend to extend their win streak to seven games and move into third place of the Central Division ahead of the AHL All-Star break.

In Friday's game, the Stars opened the scoring early when Jack Becker strided through the right circle and snapped a shot off Domenic DiVincentiis, Trey Taylor fired home the rebound 4:13 into the opening frame. With the goal, Taylor extended his point streak to eight games, the longest by a Stars skater this season. Just 36 seconds later, Kole Lind found Antonio Stranges in front of the net, and Stranges wristed home his 10th goal of the season to double the Texas lead. 

Manitoba threatened to get on the board with eight minutes remaining in the first period. After a few turnovers by the Stars, Brad Lambert found Phil Di Giuseppe open in the right circle, Kyle Looft dove to cover the open net, blocking the attempt from the Moose. 

The Stars, who had given up just 11 goals in their last five contests, continued their strong defensive play as Remi Poirier stopped eight shots in a scoreless second period.

Manitoba pulled DiVincentiis with 3:20 remaining in regulation and Mason Shaw capitalized. With Poirier looking over his left shoulder, Shaw stuffed the puck in on the opposite side of the net to cut the Stars lead to 2-1 with 2:16 to go. 

Manitoba continued to push for the game-tying marker in the final minutes. A point shot went off a crowd of bodies and right to Brad Lambert just outside the crease. Lambert’s try was denied by Poirier as he stretched out his right skate to keep Texas in front. 

The Stars held on for their sixth straight victory. Poirier had 24 saves in the win, while DiVincentiis stopped 13 of 15 shots in the loss.

In Saturday's contest, Texas opened the scoring 13:53 into the first period when Kole Lind tipped a feed from Tristan Bertucci past the glove side of Manitoba goaltender Thomas Milic.

After being kept off the scoresheet in the first, Brad Lambert fired a rebound past Remi Poirier eight minutes into the second period to tie the game. Mason Shaw put the Moose in the lead late in the middle frame when he scored from the left face-off dot with 42 seconds left in the period.

Nine minutes into the third period Jack Becker sent the puck into an empty net make the game 2-2. Milic left his post to play the puck in the trapezoid and turned it over to Ayrton Martino in the corner. Martino sent the puck to Becker quickly for an open-net tap-in and the equalizer. Justin Ertel scored the go-ahead goal 1:43 later when he redirected a point shot from Vladislav Kolyachonok from between the face-off circles.

Michael Karow ripped a shot from the point for an insurance goal 16:10 into the final frame. The goal was Karow’s 18^th point of the season, tying a career-high. With two minutes left in regulation, Shaw scored his second of the night to bring the Moose within one with the extra attacker on.

Manitoba pulled Milic a second time, but could not complete the comeback. Texas has now won seven straight heading into the All-Star Break, their longest winning streak since December 2022.

Poirier earned the win, stopping 33 of 36. Milic gave up four goals on 20 shots in the loss.
