Texas Stars defenseman Dillon Heatherington was recalled by the parent club Dallas Stars on Saturday. Dallas has been trying to get one of their top blue-liners Marc Methot healthy, and it appears it will take another couple weeks. Heatherington will slot in as the seventh defenseman in Dallas. The recent Texas Stars acquisition of Michael Paliotta from the Toronto Marlies came in a timely fashion to help them maintain their depth on the blue line.
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has recalled defenseman Dillon Heatherington from the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL), and placed defenseman Marc Methot on Injured Reserve (knee) retroactive to Jan.
