The Calder Cup Finals between the Texas Stars and Toronto Marlies is now a best-of-five, and the Stars have home-ice advantage after winning, 2-1, at Ricoh Coliseum Sunday to even the AHL championship series 1-1.
The next three games of the series are in Cedar Park, starting with Game 3 Tuesday night.
"This is a big win for our group tonight, getting a split in Toronto, especially after [losing Game 1] when having a 4-2 lead," Texas coach Derek Laxdal told media after the game. "We're settling into the series now, every game is going to have its own story and tonight was a different story."
