|---|---|---|
| Dec. 30, 2024 | Bichsel was assigned to AHL Texas on Monday, per Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports. - Bichsel has two goals, four shots on net, two blocked shots and 26 hits in eight NHL appearances this season. If Bichsel isn't back with Dallas before Tuesday's game and Matt Dumba (upper body) remains on injured reserve, Brendan Smith could play against Buffalo. | None |
| Dec. 27, 2024 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine. - 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. | None |
| Dec. 23, 2024 | Bichsel was loaned to AHL Texas 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. | None |
| Dec. 20, 2024 | Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Friday. - Bichsel was sent to the AHL on Thursday, but he'll rejoin the NHL club a day later. The 20-year-old has made four appearances for Dallas across the past week, racking up two goals and 13 hits while averaging 15:24 of ice time. Bichsel should have a chance to suit up Friday against the Rangers if Thomas Harley (illness) or Nils Lundkvist (illness) is unavailable. | None |
| Dec. 19, 2024 | Bichsel was loaned to AHL Texas on Thursday. - Bichsel has spent most of the past week with Dallas and has made an impression during his first taste of NHL action, logging two goals and 13 hits while averaging 15:24 of ice time over four appearances. It's not yet clear whether the 20-year-old will rejoin the NHL club ahead of Friday's game against the Rangers, but whether he's called back up will likely depend on whether Thomas Harley (illness) or Nils Lundkvist (illness) are able to return. | None |
| Dec. 17, 2024 | Bichsel scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals. - 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 (upper body) and Thomas Harley (illness) are healthy. | None |
| Dec. 16, 2024 | Bichsel was summoned from AHL Texas on Monday. - 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). | None |
| Dec. 15, 2024 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Sunday. - Bichsel made an impact in his first two NHL games, scoring a goal while racking up eight hits. The 20-year-old blueliner could find himself back with the Stars if Matt Dumba (upper body) can't suit up in Monday's contest versus Washington. | None |
| Dec. 13, 2024 | Bichsel scored his first career goal while adding a team-high five hits, two shots on net, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. - In his NHL debut, the 20-year-old defenseman spoiled a shutout bid for Justus Annunen with a quick shot from the top of the faceoff circle midway through the third period. Bichsel, the 18th overall pick in the 2022 Draft, isn't going to see prime ice time on a blue line that already has Miro Heiskanen, Thomas Harley and Esa Lindell entrenched in key roles, but he appears ready to handle a regular shift while Matt Dumba (upper body) is sidelined. | None |
| Dec. 12, 2024 | Bichsel was called up from AHL Texas on Thursday, Brian Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports. - Bichsel was recalled as Matt Dumba missed practice Wednesday with an upper-body injury and the Stars needed a sixth or seventh defenseman, in case Dumba is unavailable Thursday versus Nashville. Bichsel had three goals and nine points in 21 AHL contests before his recall. | None |
| Oct. 5, 2024 | Bichsel was reassigned to AHL Texas on Saturday. - Bichsel had two goals, four points and 28 PIM in 29 regular-season games with Rogle BK in Sweden in 2023-24 before joining AHL Texas where he finished the campaign with a goal, seven points and 34 PIM across 16 regular-season outings with the minor-league squad. Selected with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, Bichsel is a towering defenseman with plenty of potential, but he'll need more time to hone his skills before eventually making his NHL debut. | None |
| May 15, 2024 | Bichsel was summoned from AHL Texas on Wednesday. - Bichsel had a goal, seven points and 34 PIM in 16 regular-season contests with Texas and also recorded an assist in five AHL playoff outings this year. He hasn't made his NHL debut and is unlikely to play for Dallas during the 2024 postseason. | None |
| May 1, 2024 | Bichsel will link up with AHL Texas for the Calder Cup playoffs, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports Wednesday. - Bichsel started the season with AHL Texas, recording seven points in 16 games, before joining Rogle BK in Sweden for the rest of the campaign. The 19-year-old defenseman is unlikely to offer much in the way of offensive upside even if he does make it to the NHL. Instead, the 2022 first-round pick's value would come from defensive stats like hits and blocks. | None |
| Nov. 29, 2023 | Bichsel will be assigned from AHL Texas to the Swedish Hockey League's Rogle on Monday. He'll return to Texas once Rogle's season is finished. - Bichsel has a goal, five points and 24 PIM in 13 games with Texas this season. The 19-year-old is the one who made the choice to play for Rogle and GM Jim Nill said the Stars respect the decision. Bichsel was taken with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. | None |
| Sept. 14, 2023 | Bichsel (ankle) suited up for the Stars' first game Thursday at the Traverse City prospect tournament, Dallas radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports. - Bichsel's presence in game action suggests his broken ankle from May is fully healed. The 19-year-old defenseman is expected to make the move to North America in 2023-24 with AHL Texas, assuming he doesn't sustain any additional injuries during training camp. | None |
| Sept. 8, 2023 | Bichsel (ankle) practiced with other members of the Stars on Friday. - Bichsel suffered a broken ankle in May that required surgery. It's not clear if he'll be ready for the start of the season, but the fact that he's on the ice is a good sign. Bichsel had a goal, six points and 47 PIM in 42 games with Leksands of the Swedish Hockey League last year. Dallas took him with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. | None |
