Imagine being an NHL prospect and getting a call on the day of the team’s 81st game saying that your services are needed. That would never happen, right? Well, it looks like Jason Dickinson will have quite the story to tell about his NHL debut for the rest of his career and beyond.
Dickinson received the call yesterday morning from the Dallas Stars in wake of learning that center Jason Spezza had been stricken with illness. He made his way up from the Texas Stars clubhouse in Cedar Park, Texas and suited up just hours later for his NHL debut.
