To close out the first period, Skyler McKenzie displayed a highlight reel pass to set up Jansen Harkins for Manitoba's third goal of the game making the score 3-0 Moose.
Midway through the second frame, Texas found the back of the net with a goal from Josh Melnick assisted by Riley Tufte and Dillon Heatherington making the score 3-1. Nicholas Caamano had an opportunity on the power play to bring Texas within one however Mikhail Berdin flashed the leather and kept the game 3-1.
Manitoba's defence stayed strong in the third frame killing off two Texas power play opportunities. Texas netminder Jake Oettinger was pulled with 2:45 remaining in the third period in an attempt to get the Stars offence a push.
