The Stars have sent their 2011 first-round pick back to the minors after a six-game stint in the big leagues.

The Big Rig will man the press box tonight in Edmonton, while the Oilers decide to try and shake things up before taking on the Stars at home...

After two games in the AHL, the agitating fourth-line forward is back in Dallas.

The Dallas Stars will stick with the same lines for the third game in row, as well as see the return of Alex Goligoski after a game in the press box.

The veteran winger has been placed on IR after suffering a lower body injury, likely giving Reilly Smith a big chance to prove himself in the top six.

The Dallas Stars have gone through a number of changes on the ice but the changes being made off the ice are perhaps just as important.

Glen Gulutzan is shaking up the defense a bit in advance of tonight's game in Columbus, while Reilly Smith is likely to be a healthy scratch.

The Stars have recalled Richard Bachman, after Nilstorp was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Blues with a groin injury.

Jagr is out, Larsen is scratched, Reilly Smith to the top six and Kari Lehtonen has a "tweak." The Stars will certainly be challenged tonight.

The Dallas Stars were patient during their negotiations with Jamie Benn, who signed a 5-year, $26.25 million contract on Thursday, getting good value for a "cornerstone" top center.
