The Dallas Stars recalled defenseman Dawson Barteaux to the Texas Stars from the Idaho Steelheads this afternoon.

Barteaux has recorded three assists in five games for the Steelheads so far this season. Following the injury suffered by Texas Stars defenseman Max Martin during Wednesday’s game in Colorado, Texas needed to add another defenseman to their roster. Barteaux played in 25 games for Texas last season and will now get a chance to return to the team.

With this callup, the Texas Stars have seven healthy defensemen available. Texas takes on San Jose twice this weekend and it will be intriguing to see how head coach Neil Graham integrates Barteaux into the lineup.

Here is the official press release:

The Texas Stars, American Hockey League Affiliate of the NHL's Dallas Stars, announced that defenseman Dawson Barteaux, has been recalled by the Dallas Stars from the club's ECHL affiliate to the Texas Stars.

Barteaux, 20, played in 25 games for the Texas Stars during the 2020-21 shortened season. The defenseman had one goal and one assists across those 25 games. Barteaux was drafted in the 6th round (168th overall) in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars. He signed a three-year entry level contract with Dallas in September of 2019.

Barteaux was sent to the Idaho Steelheads on October 21, 2021 along with G, Adam Scheel and F Yauheni Aksiantsiuk. Barteaux logged five games with the Steelheads where he picked up three assists.
