The Dallas Stars got a big lift on their defense Tuesday by activating prospect Leon Bixle from long-term injured reserve. The 21-year-old is set to play Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken after missing time with a lower body injury. He got hurt late last November during a game against the Ottawa Senators. Bixell took a hit and couldn't put weight on his left leg as he left the ice, which kept him out for months.
Drafted 18th overall in 2022, the 6'7 Swiss defender has shown real promise.
What impact does Lian Bichsel's return have on the Dallas Stars defense?
Last season, he played 38 NHL games with four goals and five assists, and he saw action in all 18 playoff games too. Before the injury this year, he had one goal, two assists, and a plus-six rating in 26 games. The injury forced him to miss representing Switzerland at the Winter Olympics, a tough blow for such a rising star. Fans and the team were worried about his recovery, but he's back stronger now. His return is perfect timing as Dallas shakes off some rust from the Olympic break. With other players just getting back, Bixell should jump right into a key role against the hot Seattle squad pushing for the playoffs. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
