The Dallas Stars are off this week and usually if they needed someone to bolster their ranks for a weekend game, they would wait until gameday to make a recall. This week is no ordinary week. Earlier today, the Dallas Stars landed in Finland, where they will skate against the defending Cup champs in Tampere on Friday and Saturday.
Defenseman Kyle Capobianco and goaltender Magnus Hellberg both made the trip. Capobianco was officially recalled this morning. Hellberg has yet to be officially called, but he is in Finland with the team.
In a corresponding move, the Texas Stars received Ben Kraws from Idaho.
