TONIGHT: The Barons host the Texas Stars (Dallas Stars) at the Cox Convention Center in the home opener. It's the third game for both teams, with each club entering with a 1-1 record. The Barons earned their first win of the season last night in San Antonio, 3-2, with the winning goal scored by defenseman Colten Teubert at 5:40 of the third to break a 2-2 tie. Texas blanked OKC 7-0 on Sunday in the season opener before falling to Houston last night 5-2 at Cedar Park Center. The Barons and Stars are two of the 5 AHL teams currently sporting 1-1-0-0 records.

OFF THE TOP: The Barons are facing the Stars for the second time in 3 games this season. It's the also the second of 10 games in the season series. The Stars are the only team the Barons will play 10 times in 2011-12. OKC went 4-4-0-2 against Texas last season, 2-1-0-2 at the Cox Center. The Stars' Maxime Fortunus scored 67 seconds after the opening faceoff in Sunday's 7-0 Texas win, snapping an OKC shutout stretch against the Stars dating to the last season that had spanned more than 7 full periods and 146 minutes, 3 seconds of playing time.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME: Tonight marks the first of a season-high 5-game homestand. The Barons next road game is Oct. 29 at Houston. OKC has 9 games in October, all in Oklahoma or Texas.

ARCOBELLO'S APPLES: Mark Arcobello assisted on the Barons' first and third goals last night, giving the second-year pro out of Yale OKC's first and only multi-point game of the young season. Arcobello will be this week's guest along with head coach Todd Nelson on "Barons Weekly," Monday from 6-7 pm at Buffalo Wild Wings on the Northwest Expressway in Oklahoma City. The program airs on AM 1340 The Game, the Barons' alternate radio home.

COMING OUT SCRAPPIN: The Barons share the AHL lead with 4 major penalties, all for fighting, and sit third in average penalty minutes per game with 26.

READY...AIM...: Barons winger Teemu Hartikainen registered 8 of OKC's 23 shots on goal last night. Gilbert Brule, who missed last night's game with an upper body injury, accounted for 5 of the Barons' 21 shots in the season opener at Texas on Sunday. OKC has been out-shot in each game so far, with Hartikainen and Brule combining for 13 of the team's 44 shots, or 29.5 percent.
