ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Stars finally received a bit of positive injury news on Saturday as Jiri Hudler and Jason Spezza returned to the lineup against the Minnesota Wild.
Hudler, who missed five games with an illness, was activated from injured reserve. Dallas reassigned forward Justin Dowling to the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League. Spezza returned after missing two games due to a lower-body injury.
"It challenges your roster," Spezza said of the injuries. "We've managed to stay at .500. Hopefully we can get some bodies back here next couple weeks, and get back to being a little more consistent.
