After training camp, we all knew it wouldn't be long for some of those final assignments to get the recall. Adding to Alex Petrovic earlier this week, Dallas has recalled forward Matu011bj Blümel following the injury to Sam Steel. If Blümel plays, it will be his first NHL action since the 2022-23 season, where he made it into six games and scored his first and only NHL goal so far.
Additionally, Dallas placed defenseman Matt Dumba on IR, so Petrovic may be pulling NHL paychecks for a somewhat extended period.
Here's the release:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today the NHL club recalled forward Matu011bj Blümel from the Texas Stars, Dallas' development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
