Stars Earn Overtime Point in Tucson

Nov 14, 2026

TUCSON, Arizona— The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, twice tied the game in the third period to force overtime, but the Tucson Roadrunners prevailed 3-2 in overtime Saturday at Tucson Convention Center Arena.

Tucson opened the scoring 12 minutes into the first period with their fifth short-handed goal of the season. Austin Poganski picked up a loose puck and fed Yegor Borikov, who backhanded a shot into the net.

After a scoreless middle period, Texas looked to equalize in the first minute of the third period. Cameron Hughes found Matthew Seminoff at the side of the net. Seminoff fired a cross-ice pass to Jack Anderson in the left-wing circle, but his shot went just wide of the cage.  

Texas tied the game on the power play just past the midway point of the third period. Mike Sgarbossa rushed down the middle of the ice, before setting up Seminoff streaking down the right wing. Seminoff snapped a shot off of Jaxson Stauber’s pad, and Hughes fired home the rebound for his first goal of the season.

Tucson retook the lead with six minutes remaining. Brandon Tanev centered the puck from the right-wing corner and it went off a Stars skater and into the net.

The Roadrunners were awarded a power play with five minutes left, but the Stars won the face-off and Sgarbossa raced into the offensive zone. Stauber stopped Sgarbossa’s initial shot, but Kyle Looft put home the rebound for the short-handed goal.  

Neither team could find the game-winning marker in regulation, and Borikov scored his second goal of the game 39 seconds into overtime on a wrist shot from the left circle.  

Brandon Halverson made 38 saves in the overtime loss, while Stauber allowed two goals on 30 shots in the win.

The two teams will square off again on Sunday. Puck drop is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. CT at Tucson Convention Center Arena. Catch all the action on AHL TV on FloHockey.
