FRISCO, Texas – Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has recalled defenseman Joel Hanley from the Texas Stars. The club has also placed defenseman John Klingberg on injured reserve, retroactive to the game on Jan. 1.

Hanley, 28, has registered two assists (0-2=2) and an average time on ice per game of 11:21 in eight games with Dallas so far this season. The defenseman currently paces Texas with a +14 plus/minus rating, while he shares fourth among team blueliners with six assists (0-6=6) in 18 AHL games in 2019-20.
