Oskar Lindblom struck first for San Jose by tapping in a no-look pass from Tristen Robins to beat Remi Poirier near the top of the crease. Jordy Bellerive then made it 2-0 Barracuda by blasting a one-timer from the top of the left circle that fed out from the nearside dasher by Ozzy Weisblatt.

The third period saw Mavrik Bourque chip in a loose puck amid a net-front scramble to cut the Stars' deficit to 2-1 with 12.9 remaining on the clock. However, the Barracuda hung on in the waning seconds for a 2-1 victory in Cedar Park.
