BOISE, Idaho - Forward Anthony Nellis has been recalled by the Texas Stars from the Idaho Steelheads, Head Coach & Director of Hockey Operations Everett Sheen announced on Friday.
Nellis, 25, appeared in 33 games with the Steelheads this season, boasting 11 goals and 11 assists for 22 points with one shorthanded goal, three game-winning goals and a plus-three rating. The Breakeyville, Que. native leads the Steelheads in game-winning goals and sits second in goals, and netted the team's first hat-trick in three seasons during his last game on Dec. 31, 2019 in Allen. Two of his three game-winners came in overtime, and he also owns four multi-point games.
