The Dallas Stars trimmed their roster Thursday, but not by much. The only player moved was defenseman John Nyberg, who was assigned to the Texas Stars of the AHL, leaving Dallas with 34 players on the roster.
The Stars also placed defensemen Dillon Heatherington and Reece Scarlett on waivers Thursday morning with the intent of sending them to the AHL once they cleared.
But more cuts are coming, probably this weekend. The opening-day roster, which needs to be down to the league maximum of 23 players, must be set by Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 4 p.m. CT.
