The Texas Stars added to their experience on the backend this afternoon as they announced the signing of Matt Mangene to an AHL contract. Mangene has played for Texas over the past three season, often being called upon to play as a forward during more sparse roster stretches. He is on the official roster as a defenseman and quarterbacks the power play quite often regardless of where he plays at even strength that night.
Defensemen under contract and expected with Texas now include Gavin Bayreuther, Andrew Bodnarchuk, Ludwig Bystrom, Niklas Hansson, Dillon Heatherington, Chris Martenet, Brent Regner and Matt Mangene.
