Before last night’s game, Dallas Stars coach Lindy Ruff said the team would know more about the injury to defenseman Johnny Oduya’s ankle after he was evaluated by team doctors.
Well consider that question answered.
The Stars recalled rookie defenseman Julius Honka from the Texas Stars in the AHL today and put Oduya on injured reserve retroactive to Jan. 17, when he missed the second half of the game against the New York Rangers after apparently getting tangled up with Rick Nash around the Dallas net.
The move means Oduya will be unavailable until at least Jan.
