The Dallas Stars announced today that they have reassigned forward Rhett Gardner and defenseman Joel Hanley to the Texas Stars.
Gardner was a healthy scratch the past three games, while Hanley has not played in the last five. Neither player has to pass through waivers — Gardner is ineligible, while Hanley has not played 10 NHL games nor spent 30 days on the NHL roster since he last cleared waivers.
Both players were initially called up to Dallas after the team lost Blake Comeau and Roman Polak in the season opener.
