The Dallas Stars have recalled Justin Dowling from the Texas Stars this morning. With the assignment of Roope Hintz to Texas last weekend, it seemed that a forward callup would be coming in return rather quickly. Jim Nill was in the building on Saturday for tryouts. With everyone assuming Denis Gurianov was top of the list with perhaps a dark horse of Joel L'Esperance, the pick of Dowling is a great reward for the vet forward.
Dowling is 2-4=6 in seven games and has NHL experience across nine games two seasons ago. Texas is off until Friday, so we will see how this affects their lineup this weekend, if at all.
