As expected, Texas has recalled Maxime Lagace from the Idaho Steelheads. The move was necessitated by the recall of Jack Campbell to Dallas this morning. For all his success in the AHL, Lagace has had a rough go of it in Idaho. He's gone 1-3-0-2 with a .891 save percentage. Either he or John Muse will start Saturday against the Barracuda.

Here's the release:

The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced Thursday the club has recalled goaltender Maxime Lagace from their 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.

During his time in Idaho, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound rookie made six appearances with a 3.24 goals against average and a .891 save percentage.

The Stars continue their four-game swing along the West Coast on Saturday when they visit the San Jose Barracuda at 3:15 p.m. CST.
