Texas had the answer again, as Matej Stansky scored just three seconds after the Stars began a on 5-on-3 power play.
However, the same penalty that gave Texas that two-man advantage also gave the Admirals several shorthanded opportunities and Joe Pendenza took advantage, After Max Reinhart dropped the puck for him at the left Texas circle, Pendenza took two strides before firing a wrister into the back of the net for his first goal of the season.
Third period goals by Frederick Gaudreau and Jimmy Oligny, his first of the season, iced the game for the Admirals.
White finished the night with three points, while Zach Budish, also playing in his second game of the year, chipped in with a pair of assists. Marek Mazanec made 29 saves in the win and helped keep the AHL's highest scoring offense in check.
