With eight defensemen still on the active roster and two veteran forwards getting healthy, the Stars Czech rookie is headed back to the AHL for now.
The numbers game that is the Dallas Stars roster caught Radek Faksa up on Sunday as the rookie forward was returned to the Texas Stars of the AHL.
The young Czech was recalled in mid-October after a slew of injuries hit the Stars lower lines and was nothing short of impressive in his 14-game NHL debut, where he scored his first career NHL goal and fit in extremely well on the Stars third and fourth lines.
