GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Captain Dominik Shine put four pucks in the net as the Griffins beat the Texas Stars 6-2 on Nov. 4 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, their third straight victory.

Texas opened the scoring at 3:36 of the first when Mike Sgarbossa finished his seventh of the year. Shine tied it on a power play moments later, and Noah Dower Nilsson put Grand Rapids ahead 2-1 less than a minute after that.

Shine scored again before the first break to stretch the lead to 3-1. Ben Gleason cut the deficit 36 seconds into the middle period, but Texas never drew even.

Shine finished the hat trick at 8:10 of the third and added a fourth goal inside the final three minutes. Dylan James made it 6-2 with 59 seconds left. Trey Augustine turned aside 24 of 26 shots.

Grand Rapids moved to 8-1-1-1 and stayed near the top of the AHL in both scoring and defense. Texas dropped to 2-6-1-1 and returns to Cedar Park for a weekend set with the Chicago Wolves.
