Bichsel's demotion is almost certainly designed to give the Stars some more roster and cap flexibility ahead of Friday's trade deadline. Since mid-December, the 20-year-old blueliner has played in 20 NHL games for Dallas and will likely be recalled from the minors ahead of Saturday's clash with Edmonton. |
Bichsel was sent down by the Stars in a paper move earlier Friday, and he'll officially rejoin the NHL club after spending less than a day in the minors. Over 20 appearances with Dallas this year, he's racked up two goals, three assists, 83 hits and 12 blocked shots while averaging 14:54 of ice time. |

Bichsel was injured against the Islanders on Sunday and has already missed one game ahead of Friday's tilt against Los Angeles. The 20-year-old rookie defenseman has two goals, three assists and 73 hits across 18 appearances for Dallas this season. The good news is that he has been progressing and could return as early as Sunday versus St. Louis. |
It appears that Bichsel will miss a third straight game since suffering a concussion last week against the Islanders, though the 20-year-old defenseman has been skating in practice and appears poised to return early next week. Bichsel has two goals and five points in 18 games with Dallas this season. |

With Bichsel's timeline in mind, the left-shot blueliner is in danger of missing Dallas' next two games. The 20-year-old sustained the injury in Sunday's game against the Islanders and did not return.

Bichsel was on the receiving end of a hard hit in the second period from Casey Cizikas, who received a five-minute major penalty on the play.

Bichsel rejoins the Stars after being sent down before the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. The left-shot blueliner should be able to carve out a consistent role due to long-term injuries to Miro Heiskanen (knee) and Nils Lundkvist (shoulder).

Bichsel had two assists, five shots on goal, four PIM, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

This was Bichsel's first career helper, though he opened his NHL career with two goals over three games in December. The 20-year-old blueliner has a chance to carve out a role as a regular during Miro Heiskanen's (knee) absence, though Bichsel will be competing with Brendan Smith and Matt Dumba for regular minutes.

Bichsel has played six games at the NHL level this season, scoring a pair of goals. The 20-year-old was selected 18th overall in 2022 and the Stars are quite enamored with the behemoth defenseman, who already has 20 hits in the NHL, including six versus Utah on Monday. |

Bichsel made his sixth appearance of the season Monday, compiling six hits and one blocked shot in a 3-2 win over Utah. The Swiss blueliner's 11:58 of ice time was the lowest among Dallas' defensemen, so he might benefit from more consistent playing time in the AHL. Bichsel has found the back of the net twice but has yet to register an assist at the NHL level in 2024-25. |

Bichsel was sent to the AHL on Thursday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a day later.

Bichsel has suited up for Dallas in the last two games and could play again in Monday's matchup against Washington. He has one goal, two shots on net and eight hits in two NHL appearances this season. Bichsel has been filling in on the blue line due to the absences of Matt Dumba (upper body) and Nils Lundkvist (illness). |
Bichsel's shot banked in off a Capitals defenseman at 17:35 of the second period, and that stood as the game-winning goal. The 20-year-old defenseman has two goals, three shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating through his first three NHL outings. The Stars will likely remain cautious with his minutes, but his strong play could force them to keep him around with the big club even once Matt Dumba |
