After Jack Campbell started in last night's game, it was only a matter of time before some decision had to be made regarding John Muse and Maxime Lagace. This morning, the Texas Stars announced Lagace's assignment to the Idaho Steelheads.

Lagace will get a lot of ice time in a bid to keep him warm and continue the strong development he's done so far this year.

Here's the release:

The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced on Thursday that rookie goaltender Maxime Lagace has been reassigned to the team’s ECHL affiliate, the Idaho Steelheads.

Lagace (luh-GAH-say), 22, has appeared in seven games this season for Texas with a 4-3-0 record, a 2.60 goals against average and a .913 save percentage. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound native of Saint-Augustin, Quebec split 28 games last season at the ECHL level between the Bakersfield Condors and Missouri Mavericks with a combined 2.85 goals against average and .901 save percentage.
