FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer has been cleared to return to the ice just before the team's season opener after recovering from an appendectomy.
"I got (the) green light to get on the ice Wednesday and then coach going forward," DeBoer said.
The Stars are scheduled to practice Wednesday in Nashville, a day before playing their season opener against the Predators. The team traveled there Tuesday.
DeBoer said he had some minor complications in his recovery from the procedure two weeks ago, just a few days into training camp.
