Down on the Farm: Blumel called up to the Dallas Stars
It's been a while since the Dallas Stars have promoted a prospect to the NHL. Blumel was called up last night after it was announced that Evgenii Dadonov was placed on the LTIR. Blumel will get some playing time over the next two weeks while Dadonov heals back in Dallas. Blumel is also in the final year of his entry-level contract. How well he plays while with Dallas could determine whether the Stars re-sign him this offseason. The Stars will need him with the teams they play against later this month.
The @DallasStars have recalled forward Matej Blumel from Texas. Additionally, we have recalled defenseman Ben Zloty and signed forward Mark Rassell to a professional tryout from the @Steelheads.
