Following the deadline and injury to new acquisition Mats Zuccarello, the Dallas Stars have recalled Denis Gurianov to the NHL. As he was on an AHL roster today, he is eligible for the remainder of the AHL season in any case.

Here's the release:

Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has recalled right wing Denis Gurianov from the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Gurianov, 21, has recorded four points (1-3=4) and an average 11:14 of ice time in 19 NHL games with Dallas so far in 2018-19. He has also skated in 39 AHL contests with Texas this season, registering 37 points (14-23=37). The winger ranks fourth on Texas in assists (23), shares fourth in goals (14) and ranks fourth in points (37).

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound native of Togliatti, Russia was originally selected by Dallas in the first round (12th overall) of the 2015 NHL Draft.
