The Stars recalled B.J. Crombeen from Iowa today and he could be in the lineup tomorrow against the San Jose Sharks. Dave Tippett said the 22-year-old has done pretty well with Iowa this season, and he's "the next guy in line that deserves a chance."
There's no doubt the Stars need bodies up here. They're feeling those injuries more by the day, so why not throw a fresh guy in there and see what happens?
Wouldn't have been my first choice, but I'm not the coach. I would have rather seen Janos Vas, Toby Peterson or Marty Sertich, but maybe I am missing something with Crombeen. I know he's a full-fledge team guy, but I would assume a physical offensive punch is what they would be calling up. Guess we'll see.

Doesn't Petersen have to clear waivers to be called up?

Umm...it's possible. I'll have to look that up and see because I honestly don't know.

Erik,
To answer your question: Yes, Petersen would have to clear waivers to be called up to the big club.
