The Stars have assigned defenseman Jordie Benn, forward Alex Chiasson and forward Reilly Smith to the Texas Stars (AHL)
Chiasson was injured at 1:03 of the second period when he was hit behind the Chicago net by Blackhawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. Chiasson immediately skated off the off the ice and headed to the locker room.
Chiasson has turned a few heads playing alongside Jamie Benn and Ray Whitney and is part of the Stars' recent resurgence. Chiasson appears to be a safe play down the stretch if you are looking for offense.
Chiasson was called-up yesterday as a precaution, but did not end up playing.
Chiasson has 32 points in 53 games in the AHL this season.
Chiasson just completed his third year at Boston University, posting 15 goals and 46 points.
