BAKERSFIELD, California\u2014 The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL\u2019s Dallas Stars, dropped a 4-3 contest to the Bakersfield Condors on Friday night at Dignity Health Arena, despite a 40-save performance from Remi Poirier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bakersfield struck just 8:39 into the first period as Seth Griffith found a streaking James Hamblin down the left wing. The forward roofed a wrist shot to open the scoring. The Condors doubled their lead three minutes later when Quinn Hutson sent a pass to Isaac Howard in the right circle, whose one-timer found the back of the net.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Texas responded with just under five minutes to go in the opening frame. Kole Lind found Tristan Bertucci at the point, who wristed a shot through traffic to cut the deficit to 2-1. Dylan Hryckowian earned his first professional point with an assist on the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Texas wasted no time finding the equalizer in the second frame as Jeremie Poirier sent a wrist shot from the point past Calvin Pickard 52 seconds into the period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sam Poulin came right back for Bakersfield 27 seconds after Poirier\u2019s goal. The forward skated past the Stars defense, throwing the puck into a crowded crease, before forcing it over the goal line to put the Condors in front.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bakersfield added to their lead with 8:36 to go. Isaac Howard skated down the right wing on an odd-man rush, Poirier made the initial stop, but Viljami Marjala put home the rebound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Texas took a penalty with six minutes remaining, but Matthew Seminoff started an odd-man rush short-handed. Seminoff wristed a shot that Pickard kicked out, and Luke Krys snapped home the rebound to make it 4-3.The Stars pulled Poirier for the extra attacker, but could not find the game-tying goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Poirier stopped 40 shots in the loss, while Pickard stopped 22 of 25 in the win.<\/p>\n
