MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin - The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL's Dallas Stars, fell 2-1 in a shootout while taking the Milwaukee Admirals on Saturday night at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.

The Admirals struck first with Joakim Kemell beating Matt Murray with a shot from the top of the right circle that clanked in off the right post for a power-play goal at 8:17 of the first period. For the second night in a row, Logan Stankoven scored the Stars' first goal, his team-leading 22nd of the season, by snapping a drop pass from Mavrik Bourque past Troy Grosenick to tie the game, 1-1, with 11:34 elapsed in the frame.

Neither side could find the back of the net the rest of the way in Saturday's contest as it called for a shootout to determine a winner. Jordan Gross scored the only goal through Murray's legs in the second round of the skills competition to cap a 2-1 win for the Admirals, giving Milwaukee a franchise record 14th straight victory.

In goal for the Admirals, Grosenick improved to 14-3-0 after making 33 saves on 34 shots. Murray came down with the loss for Texas and now owns a 10-9-2 mark after stopping 20 of the 21 shots sent his way.

The Stars head back to Illinois next to finish their three-game road trip against the Rockford IceHogs on Tuesday with a 7:00 p.m. face-off scheduled at the BMO Center.
