The Dallas Stars have reassigned forward Cameron Hughes to their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, ahead of a two-game road trip. This move indicates that an injured forward is set to return to the NHL lineup, likely Michael Bunting or Radek Faksa, according to head coach Glen Gulutzan. Hughes, who recently made his NHL debut, scored his first goal in three games for the Stars but averaged only 7:19 minutes of ice time. Known for his scoring consistency in the AHL, Hughes will now help Texas prepare for their upcoming playoff run.

By the Numbers
  • Hughes scored 1 goal in 3 NHL games, with an average ice time of 7:19 minutes.
  • He has scored at least 56 points in each of the last four AHL seasons, including a high of 66 points in 63 games this season.
State of Play
  • The Texas Stars have already clinched a playoff spot, focusing on seeding in the final four regular season games.
  • Hughes鈥� reassignment will allow him to re-establish his role in the AHL before the playoffs.
What's Next

As Hughes returns to the AHL, he will aim to regain his scoring form to assist Texas in the playoffs, while the Dallas Stars will finalize their roster for the road trip with likely returns of injured forwards.
