Stars activate Hudler off injured reserve

The Dallas Stars have activated forward Jiri Hudler off injured reserve, the club announced prior to Saturday's game versus the Minnesota Wild.

With Hudler's return, the Stars reassigned forward Justin Dowling to the AHL.

Hudler's missed the past five games battling an illness, and hasn't recorded a point in two games with the club. However, Dallas will welcome any offensive boost, as they rank 22nd league-wide with only 18 goals for.
