Texas Stars Add D Aaron Harstad on PTO

Texas has signed Aaron Harstad to a professional tryout this afternoon. The defenseman, who was acquired by Idaho in a trade with Norfolk, is likely for insurance. Andrew Bodnarchuk is not going to play in tomorrow's game against San Jose, so Texas would only have six defensemen, including Julius Honka. Honka was held out of Saturday's game after an impact with the boards that saw his head snap back pretty severely. Either way, having a seventh D on a road trip is never a bad idea.

The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced Sunday the team has signed defenseman Aaron Harstad to a professional tryout agreement.
