Perhaps sooner than expected, the Texas Stars will get their captain back as Curtis McKenzie has been reassigned to the club on the eve of their game in Milwaukee. Compounding the transaction, the Idaho Steelheads have recalled Shane Hanna. The addition of McKenzie bodes well for the Stars as they continue to make strides in locking down a playoff spot. Here's the official release from the team website:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has reassigned left wing Curtis McKenzie to the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
