As anticipated, junior forward Alex Chiasson has signed a three-year contract with the Dallas Star, who had made him their second-round draft choice in 2009. He’ll report to the AHL Texas Stars. Dallas, which also signed Miami’s Reilly Smith and Colgate’s Austin Smith, has former BU captain Dan Spang on its roster. If Chiasson is in the lineup tonight, he’ll see a familiar face across the ice in David Quinn, the Lake Erie Monsters' coach, who recruited him to BU, along with former Terriers Zach Cohen and David Vander Gulik.
Chiasson talked with the Daily Free Press about making his decision to turn pro after consulting with Coach Jack Parker and about his three-year experience at BU.

Looking ahead
Featured in New England Hockey Journal is 2014 recruit Doyle Somerby, who along with another 2014 recruit, Jonathan MacLeod, led Kimball Union Academy to the school’s second NEPSAC Piatelli/Simmons Trophy (small school championship) in three years. The 6-4, 210 shutdown defenseman talks about his hopes for the upcoming NHL draft and options for next season. MacLeod participated in last week’s US NTDP Tryout Camp and, following a strong performance, is expected to be invited to join next season’s U17 squad.
Looking back
With the Anaheim Ducks no longer in the playoff hunt, the club is analyzing its talent with an eye towards next season. Nick Bonino’s strong second half makes him a candidate to play a larger role in the future.
Ryan Whitney recorded a pair of assists in Edmonton’s 6-3 win over Columbus.
