Defenseman Patrick Traverse picked-up his second assist of the game on the goal. Eighteen seconds later, Chicago's Brian Maloney tied the game at two. Junior Lessard's team-leading 14th goal of the season gave Iowa a 3-2 lead going into the first intermission. Petersen recorded his seventh multiple-point game with an assist on Lessard's top-shelf goal.
The only goal of the second period came-off of Kip Miller's stick to tie the game at three.
Chicago then rattled-off three goals in the third period, including Kevin Doell's second of the evening to earn Chicago's first victory against Iowa in six games.
Iowa's Kyle Brodziak returned to the lineup after missing the previous 10 games with an injury. The Stars remain in fourth place in the West Division with 42 points.
Iowa Stars goaltender Dan Ellis faced 23 shots in the loss.
Attendance was 5,073. Power-play chances: IOWA: 2 for 6; CHICAGO: 1 for 6
