With Dickinson back in Texas, the Stars have assigned Samuel Laberge to Idaho. The rookie forward has appeared in 43 games for Texas, far more than I think I expected at the start of the season. He should do well in Idaho and perhaps be back sooner rather than later.

Here's the release:

The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, announced Tuesday the team has reassigned forward Samuel Laberge to their ECHL affiliate, the Idaho Steelheads.

Laberge, 20, is currently in his rookie season with the Stars and has appeared in 43 games for Texas with 12 points (4-8=12). The 6-foot-2, 200-pound native of Chateauguay, Qubec was signed to an AHL contract over the summer after competing for the last four seasons with the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL.
