After playing some salary cap chess this weekend, the Dallas Stars recalled Joel Kiviranta to the big club this morning. Kiviranta's brief reassignment to Texas allowed him to get a game in and saved Dallas on two days of his salary before the NHL side starts a four-game road trip on Wednesday.

Kiviranta, 23, made his NHL debut with the Stars on Jan.
