The Texas Stars have been affected by Dallas’s injury problem. That’s supposed to be the case when the NHL team goes through injuries - the AHL team loses their best players, and relies on their depth players more and more.
Dallas has recalled Gavin Bayreuther, Landon Bow, Joel Hanley, Roope Hintz, Taylor Fedun, and Ben Gleason in recent weeks. Gleason got two out of three games in San Antonio before heading back up. That leaves just Dillon Heatherington, and John Nyberg as constants in Texas’s defense when healthy, along with a collection of younger defensemen and players up from the ECHL.
