Stars recall Oleksiak, Roussel from AHL team

Found January 30, 2013 on Fox Sports Southwest:
PLAYERS: Antoine Roussel,  Reilly Smith
TEAMS: Dallas Stars
FRISCO, Texas (AP) -- The Dallas Stars have recalled defenseman Jamie Oleksiak and forward Antoine Roussel from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League. Dallas also Wednesday assigned Reilly Smith to Texas. The 6-foot-7 Oleksiak, a first-round pick in 2011, has 23 points (three goals, 20 assists) in 43 games for the Texas Stars and was an AHL All-Star this season. Roussel has eight goals and 11 assists and leads Texas with 103 penalty minutes. Smith has gone scoreless in six games for Dallas and is still looking for his first career NHL point. He had 11 goals and 14 in 37 games for Texas this season.

Dallas Stars Goalie Kari Lehtonen With Save of the Year (Video)

Via Backyard Sports Blog  |  January 29, 2013
The shortened NHL season is only in it's early stages, and the Dallas Stars goalie already has a top candidate for save of the year.  Kari Lehtonen made a save that not only shocked me when I watched it, it faked out the announcers too.  The puck seemed to ricochet off his shoulder and hang in the air for a couple seconds.  Lehtonen didn't give up on it and decided to...

Bill Meltzer: Star Gazing: Future Starts Now with Oleksiak

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 31, 2013
The Dallas Stars announced some roster moves today. The club has brought up 2011 first-round pick Jamie Oleksiak and agitating forward Antoine Roussel from the Texas Stars. Forward Reilly Smith has been sent down to Austin. As feared before the season, Dallas has lost a lot of grit that characterized the "Pesky Stars" of the previous two seasons. This season have also...

Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen provides early candidate for ‘Save of the Year’ (video)

The Dallas Stars were in Ohio on Monday night to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets. While the game was light on offense and the Stars came up short on the road, losing to the hometown squad by a score of 2-1, little blame can be laid at the feet of Stars netminder Kari Lehtonen. Among his 25 saves on the night was this stupendous display of goaltending, in which he miraculously makes...

Brenden Morrow A 4th-Liner?

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 29, 2013
from Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News, Morrow is playing on the fourth line and has logged less than 10 minutes a game in each of the last two outings. He hasn’t seen that kind of role since he wore No. 45 while breaking in as a rookie back in 1999-2000. It’s not an easy decision for the Stars to make, and it’s not an easy reality for Morrow, who has played 812 games...

Eight Bruins have won the NHL’s Calder Memorial Trophy — which is given to the rookie of the year — but winning it doesn’t always necessarily mean you’re on the path to stardom. While Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque won the award and now have their numbers retired at the TD Garden, some players — including the person who is Tuesday’s answer to The Four’s Trivia Question...

Stars G Kari Lehtonen makes amazing save

Via It's Always Sunny in Detroit  |  January 29, 2013
Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson had Stars goalie Keri Lehtonen beaten for a split second.  Johnson’s wrister hit Lehtonen in the trapper, tipped up over the goalie’s shoulder was headed for the net when Lehtonen used his go-go gadget reflexes to reach behind himself for a backhanded snatch. It was part pitcher-fielding-a-comebacker part magician, but it’s definitely the...

Bill Meltzer: Star Gazing: Stars Pay for Their Sins Again

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 30, 2013
A lack of opportunist offense and untimely defensive breakdowns have been an often fatal combination for the 2-4-1 Dallas Stars in the early going of the 2013 season. The work ethic is still there, but Kari Lehtonen has been keeping the team in games that really haven't been all that close in terms of quality scoring chances. Last night, the Stars played a reasonably solid...

Wings’ Jordin Tootoo does tough guy things, fights two Dallas Stars (VIDEO)

Via It's Always Sunny in Detroit  |  January 30, 2013
When Ken Holland signed Jordin Tootoo this offseason, he had one role in mind for him – nastiness.  Tuesday night, in front of a packed Joe Louis Arena, Tootoo tangoed with two Dallas Stars. The first was right off the opening face-off with Eric Nystrom.  It was obviously pre-arranged, possibly with a “save the date” card.   And his second fight, with Brenden Dillion, was...

Check out this incredible save from last night’s game between the Dallas Stars and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Video: Kari Lehtonen's miraculous save on Jack Johnson

Via Bloguin Best  |  January 29, 2013
Did Kari Lehtonen just make the save of the 2013 season? We'll see, but he certainly made one that got the hockey world buzzing. After a Jack Johnson shot hit Lehtonen in the arm/shoulder, the puck was on a one-way course to the back of the net. Not so fast, said Lehtonen, as he spun and backhanded the puck out of the net with his glove. Lehtonen's awareness and reflexes...

Bill Meltzer: Stars Gameday: 1/29/13 @ Red Wings

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 29, 2013
PREVIEW 7:45 AM CST Goals have been hard to come by for the Dallas Stars (2-3-1) in the team's last few games. The team has been in position to win each of the last three games, but has been unable to protect one-goal leads and unable to scratch out equalizing goals once they do fall behind. Glen Gulutzan's team will try again tonight when they head to Motown to take...
