Hanley Recall Puts Texas Down to Five D Just When They Need Defense the Most

It's not getting any easier in Cedar Park as the Texas Stars lost another veteran defenseman this afternoon. Joel Hanley was recalled to Dallas to backfill for John Klingberg, who was injured in last night's game with San Jose.

With Gavin Bayreuther on the mend, Reece Scarlett out for the season and Dillon Heatherington already in Dallas, Texas will need to make a recall to join some combination of the following five defensemen tomorrow night: Shane Hanna, Ben Gleason, John Nyberg, Niklas Hansson and Ondrej Vala.

Those five defensemen have a total of 139 games in the AHL between them.
