LOVELAND, CO. – Colorado forward Jean-Luc Foudy buried the game-winning goal just 1:54 into the third period, as the Eagles defeated the Texas Stars 3-2 on Tuesday.

Texas would answer back when forward Tanner Kero collected a cross-slot pass and lifted a shot from the top of the crease into the back of the net to tie the game at 1-1 at the 9:57 mark of the first period.
As time wound down in the opening 20 minutes of play, forward Cal Burke would deflect a shot from the point, lighting the lamp and putting Colorado back on top 2-0 with only 3:11 remaining in the period. The Eagles would go on to outshoot the Stars 14-6 in first frame and took their 2-1 advantage into the intermission.
