Defenseman Alex Petrovic, who played in 17 NHL playoff games with Dallas this postseason after only making it into 5 regular season contests, has been reassigned to the Texas Stars ahead of tomorrow night's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against Abbotsford. Petrovic was the Texas side's top pairing D-man and his physical brand of hockey is exactly what the AHL club seems to want a bit more of against the Canucks.
Petrovic has 5-20=25 in 58 games with the Texas Stars this year. He added a goal and an assist in the NHL playoffs, including the game-winner in Game 3 against Winnipeg.
