The Texas Stars have received some reinforcements for their Western Conference Finals showdown as defenseman Alexander Petrovic and goaltender Ben Kraws have been returned to the team by the Dallas Stars.

Petrovic recorded 25 points in 55 games for Texas this season and appeared in five regular season NHL games before playing a sizeable role in 17 playoff games for Dallas due to various injuries.

The 33-year-old will add stability to Texas' blueline as they look to dig out of the 2-0 hole they find themselves in against the Abbotsford Canucks. 

Kraws appeared in three games for Texas this season but spent the majority of his time with the ECHL's Idaho Steelheads where he had a 23-12-5 record with a 2.88 GAA, .910 SP and five shutouts. 

The 24-year-old was serving as the third goalie for the Dallas Stars during their playoff run.
