Currently playing in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Dallas Stars have called up three players from their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars. One of the trio is Swiss defenseman Lian Bichsel.
Bichsel started the season with the Texas Stars, then was assigned to Rögle BK in December, went all the way to the SHL final with them, returned to Texas for the AHL playoffs, and is now with his third team - and in the third playoffs - this season.
Whether the 19-year-old will ever make the lineup and if so, get any ice time, remains to be seen.
