Stars' Benjamin Gleason: Lands PTO with Dallas
Rotowire
Gleason signed a professional tryout agreement with the Stars on Wednesday.
Gleason hasn't appeared in an NHL game since he made four regular-season appearances with Dallas during the 2018-19 campaign, but he'll have an opportunity to compete with the Stars during training camp ahead of the 2026-27 regular season. The 28-year-old recorded two goals, 20 assists and 23 PIM across 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most, or all, of his time in the minors once again this season.

Wild's Benjamin Gleason: Three assists for Iowa
Rotowire
Gleason posted three assists and three shots on goal in AHL Iowa's 4-3 shootout loss to Grand Rapids on Tuesday.
Gleason isn't known for his offense, and he was limited to 18 points in 36 regular-season games between Bakersfield and Lehigh Valley last year. His first season in Iowa is off to a positive start with five points in seven contests, though he also has a minus-6 rating. Gleason has just four games of NHL experience under his belt, and they came in 2018-19, so it would likely take a number of injuries to the Wild's blue line for him to get a call-up.
