Stars Lock Down High-Scoring Moose in 2-1 Victory

Nov 11, 2026

CEDAR PARK, Texas— The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, scored two second-period goals and kept the AHL's top-scoring team in check in a 2-1 win over the Manitoba Moose on Wednesday at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park.

The Stars were assessed five penalties in the first period, including almost two full minutes down two skaters. Texas killed off all of the penalties, and only allowed 10 shots on net in the scoreless opening frame.

Manitoba got on the board nine minutes into the second period off of a face-off in the Stars defensive zone. The Stars won the draw clean, but the puck deflected off of a defender's skate and into the back of the net. The goal was credited to Danny Zhilkin.

While on a four-on-four skate just 1:40 after Manitoba’s goal, Jack Becker scored his first goal of the season. Dylan Hryckowian forced a turnover and rushed down the left wing before feeding Becker, who fired a wrist shot past Thomas Milic.

Texas was awarded a power play two minutes later and Artem Shlaine scored a highlight-reel goal. Matthew Seminoff wristed a shot off the high glass behind the net, and Shlaine tracked the rebounded puck on its way down, before batting it out of mid-air into the back of the net.

The Stars were sent to the box for the seventh time six minutes into the third period, but killed off the penalty to go 7-for-7 on the penalty kill for the second time this season.

Manitoba pulled Milic with two minutes left in the third frame, and the Stars closed out Moose to seal the victory.

Brandon Halverson made 25 saves in the win, while Milic allowed two goals on 29 shots in the loss. Texas has now picked up at least a point in six of its eight home games this season.

The Stars will travel to Tucson to take on the Roadrunners Saturday and Sunday. Puck drop is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. CT on Saturday night at Tucson Convention Center Arena. Catch all the action on  AHL TV on FloHockey.
