CEDAR PARK, Texas - The Texas Stars swept their weekend set against the Charlotte Checkers and now face their first road test of the year with three games on the West Coast this week.

The Stars went 2-3-0-1 against the Heat last season, winning one at home and one on the road. Texas forward Justin Dowling led all skaters in the series last year with eight points (0-88) in five games played. The two teams will meet a total of six times during the 2016-17 season.

October 22, 2016 at San Diego Gulls at 9 p.m. CST: Saturday will be the first meeting between the Stars and San Diego Gulls since the first round of last year's Calder Cup Playoffs, when the Gulls eliminated the Stars in four games (3-1).
