Richard Bachman recorded his first AHL shutout Tuesday night, stopping 17 shots as the Texas Stars won 5-0 at Hamilton.

Bachman, called up over the weekend due to Matt Climie being ill, improved to 2-1-0 in AHL action this season. He has stopped 69 of 73 shots for a .945 save percentage and 1.34 goals against average in his three AHL starts.

Andrew Hutchinson scored one goal and had two assists for Texas, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Warren Peters, Aaron Gagnon, Trevor Ludwig and Mathieu Beaudoin also scored for Texas, which pulled to within three points of first place in the West Division.

Peters opened the scoring, tallying on the power play 14:42 into the game. Hutchinson and Gagnon scored 1:17 apart early in the second period to extend the lead to 3-0. Ludwig scored midway through the second and Beaudoin scored on the power play late in the period to make it a 4-0 game.

The Stars, who opened a five-game road trip Tuesday, play at Syracuse Wednesday.
