The Stars were also in compliance in the league's $56.7 million salary cap after they were granted permission to use the long-term injury exception for injured defenseman Sergei Zubov, who is recovering from hip surgery.
Here's a recap of the Stars' moves from Wednesday.
*Lost defenseman Doug Janik, who was claimed off waivers by Chicago.
*Reacquired Janik from Chicago later in the day for a conditional seventh round draft pick.
*Were granted the long-term injury exception for Zubov, which gave the Stars some cap relief and allowed them to bring back James Neal and Mark Fistric. Zubov will have to be out a minimum of 10 games or 24 days. Once he returns the Stars will have to come in compliance with the salary cap.
*Assigned forward Chris Conner to Peoria (AHL)
*Assigned forward Francis Wathier to Iowa (AHL)
*Recalled forward James Neal from Oklahoma City (CHL)
*Recalled defenseman Mark Fistric from Oklahoma City (CHL)
All the moves left the Stars with 23 active players: 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
