Stars' Matej Blumel: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Blumel was returned to AHL Texas on Wednesday.
Blumel's demotion likely is a cap-saving measure, so fantasy managers can probably expect the winger to be brought back up ahead of Friday's matchup with the Golden Knights. Still, once Mason Marchment (face) returns to the lineup, the 24-year-old Blumel could be left in the minors on a more long-term basis.
