Rosemont, Illinois\u2013 The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL\u2019s Dallas Stars, suffered a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Wolves in Game Three of the Central Division Semifinals on Saturday night at Allstate Arena and now trail two games to one in the best-of-five series.<\/p>\n
Chicago opened the scoring for the first time in the series just five minutes into the first period. Noah Philp rushed down the left wing on an odd-man rush and lifted a shot over the shoulder of Remi Poirier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dylan Hryckowian came out of the penalty box with five minutes left in the second. The rookie dropped a pass for Cameron Hughes who had a path to the net, but Cayden Primeau got just enough of his attempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Poirier continued to keep the Stars deficit at one with multiple saves on high-danger chances in the second period. Philp dished a centering pass for Evan Vierling, with what seemed like an open net in front of him, but Poirier got a piece of the shot with his blocker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chicago doubled their lead with 25 seconds left in the middle frame as Ryan Suzuki snapped a shot from the right circle for his first goal of the series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Stars got on the board in the first two minutes of the third as Hryckowian found Jack Becker in the slot. Becker waited out a diving Primeau and slotted the puck home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Texas pulled Poirier for an extra attacker, but could not find the equalizer. Primeau stopped 27 of 28 in the win, while Poirier made 26 saves in the loss.<\/p>\n
The Stars and Wolves will meet in Game Four of the series on Sunday at Allstate Arena. Puck drop is set for 3:00 p.m., as Texas needs to win to force a Game Five, which would also be in Chicago on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m., if needed.
