BOISE, ID – The Idaho Steelheads (@Steelheads), proud ECHL (@ECHL) affiliate of the Dallas Stars (@DallasStars), and Steelheads Head Coach & Director of Hockey Operations Everett Sheen announced today that goaltender Ben Kraws has been re-assigned by the Dallas Stars to the Texas Stars.

Kraws, 24, is tied for third amongst ECHL goaltenders with five wins holding a (5-1-1) record while posting 3.12 goals against average and .909 save percentage. The 6-foot-5, 195lb netminder made 23 saves last Friday at Rapid City in a 6-5 win and his 48 saves back on Nov. 10 in a 4-2 win at Savannah are tied for the most saves in a single game this season by an ECHL goalie.

He signed a one-year NHL contract with Dallas on Mar. 25, 2024.
