Dallas Stars Recall Gemel Smith, Justin Dowling, Leaving Texas with 11 Forwards Tonight

The Dallas Stars have recalled two forward from the Texas Stars ahead of tonight's game against the Rockford IceHogs. With injuries to both Curtis McKenzie and Ales Hemsky, Dallas called for Gemel Smith and Justin Dowling ot bolster their crew.

Texas is in a precarious spot now. They rolled the following crew in their last game at forward.

Werek-Dowling-McNeill
DeFazio-Smith-Ully
Gurianov-Morin-Stransky
Herbert-McMurtry-Mangene

They lose two centers and have no one on the bench to replace them with as Austin Fyten is out for at least another week. Reid Sturos was signed yesterday and will clearly figure into the lineup.
