BOISE, Idaho – Prior to tonight’s game, Defenseman Tanner Jago has been recalled by the Texas Stars from the Idaho Steelheads, Head Coach & Director of Hockey Operations Everett Sheen announced on Friday.
Jago, 25, played five games with the Steelheads this season, posting one goal and one assist for two points with a plus-four rating. The Brandon, Man. native made his professional debut on October 12 in Utah and recorded his first professional point and goal in back-to-back appearances on October 19 against Wichita and October 26 in Allen.
