The "Big Rig" is headed up ice.
With three forwards out with injuries, the Stars will move 6-7 defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to forward for their game against the Jets on Monday.
Brett Ritchie was placed on injured reserve Sunday, retroactive to Oct. 30. The Stars also lost Radek Faksa and Tyler Pitlick on Saturday against Buffalo.
To help fill the void, center Martin Hanzal will return earlier than expected after missing the past three games with a lower-body injury. But even with Hanzal, the Stars were a forward short. With their minor-league affiliate in the midst of a West Coast road trip, the Stars opted to move Oleksiak up instead of calling a player over from California.
