Texas Stars coach Glen Gulutzan started Brent Krahn in goal attempting to break up the 3 straight losses Matt Climie suffered in Cedar Park, but the Hershey Bears scored early and often to tally a dominating 4-0 win on their home ice.
↵In the end the Stars couldn’t overcome the scoring drought of phenom Jamie Benn or the continuing absence of defensive cog Andrew Hutchinson. The Bear woke up … and the Bear ate us. Video highlights
↵What a first season though for the noobs near Austin – lotsa tradition and community goodwill was established. The Dallas Stars have got to be thrilled at seeing their primary farm team root themselves into the Heart of Texas like that.
