Jason Dickinson has been assigned to the Texas Stars from Dallas. The sophomore forward had shoulder surgery in the offseason and will make his season debut this week after missing all of training camp.
Dickinson's return couldn't come at a better time. After going 2-0 in opening weekend, Texas collected just one point on their three game trip to California. On the road, they averaged more than five goals allowed per game. Dickinson, who has commented in the past he wants to be known as much if not more for his defensive game than his offense, could help in that regard.
