The Henderson Silver Knights dropped their season opener, 4-3, against the Texas Stars on Friday evening at H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. Rondbjerg scored twice and McLain notched his first in a Henderson sweater.

HOW IT WENT DOWN

The Texas Stars got on the board first with an unassisted goal from Krys late in the first. They doubled their lead with another tally from Petrovic, assisted by Hryckowian, just 20 seconds later. But Henderson made it 2-1 less than 30 seconds into the second period with a goal from Jonas Rondbjerg, their first of the season. He was assisted by Grigori Denisenko and Christoffer Sedoff. The Stars re-extended their lead to two with an unassisted goal from Wheatcroft at 13:01 in the second. Mitch McLain made it a one goal game in the third period, with Sedoff picking up his second assist of the night on the play. Blümel, assisted by Hryckowian and Pettersen, put the Stars up by two again with the first power-play goal of the evening. The Silver Knights answered back with a power-play goal of their own, Rondbjerg's second of the night, assisted by Tanner Laczynski and Denisneko. Despite the Knights outshooting the Stars 13:6 in the third period, Texas hung on to secure a 4-3 win.
