Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has assigned defenseman Patrik Nemeth to the Texas Stars, Dallas' top development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Nemeth, 23, appeared in five games with Dallas, registering a +1 plus/minus rating and three shots on goal. The native of Stockholm, Sweden has missed the last 52 games after suffering an arm laceration on Oct. 18, 2014 against Philadelphia.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound defenseman was selected by Dallas in the second round (41st overall) of the 2010 NHL Draft.
