The Chicago Wolves opened the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs by falling to the Texas Stars 2-0 in Game 1 of the Central Division Semifinals on Tuesday night in Cedar Park, Texas.

In a classic goaltending showdown, the Stars' Remi Poirier (16 saves) out-dueled the Wolves' Cayden Primeau (25 saves) to propel Texas to a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series that will continue with Game 2 on Thursday night in Texas. Artem Shlaine scored both goals of the contest for the Stars.

After a scoreless first two periods, the Stars went on the power play early in the third and Shlaine converted:43 into the man advantage for the game-winner.

Shlaine then capped the scoring with an empty-netter in the waning moments.

Up next: The Wolves travel to Texas to face the Stars in Game 2 of the Central Division Semifinals on Thursday night (7 p.m.).
