Cedar Park, TX – The Rockford IceHogs skated past the Texas Stars 2-1 on Friday night inside the H-E-B Center. The Hogs have won back-to-back games for the first time this season and topped the Stars twice this week.

Texas thought it had opened the scoring just 1:20 into the game, but Matej Blumel’s goal was waved off the board with the puck hitting off the skate of the Stars’ forward in the blue paint.

Frank Nazar collected a cross-ice feed from Brett Seney and wired the puck home for his 3^rd goal against the Stars this week.

With a little under 5:00 minutes to go in the period, Gerry Mayhew pushed the score to 2-0. The forward was led into the zone by Zach Sanford and elevated his shot up over the Stars’ goaltender Rémi Poirier.

In the 2^nd period, Texas cut the deficit to 2-1 when Antonio Stranges extended his point-streak to six games.

IceHogs’ goaltender Drew Commesso shut the door in the final frame and finished with 27 saves in the victory.
