Patrik Nemeth is on his way back to Dallas for tonight's game against the Wild. The defenseman was on a conditioning assignment in Texas, getting some ice time he could not find in Dallas. With the injury to Jamie Oleksiak on Thursday against the Red Wings, Nemeth was needed as the 7th man for the upcoming road trip.
Texas has been scratching Ludwig Bystrom and Nick Ebert the past several games, so they should have enough depth to not worry about recalling a forward from Idaho.
Here's the release:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has recalled defenseman Patrik Nemeth from his conditioning assignment with the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
