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.

Stars' Lian Bichsel: Tallies in win
Rotowire
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.

Stars' Lian Bichsel: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
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. He also registered one goal, seven points and 34 PIM across 16 regular-season outings with AHL Texas. 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.
