Blümel joins Travis Morin (2013-14), Colton Sceviour (2013-14), Mavrik Bourque (2023-24) and Logan Stankoven (2023-24), as the players from Texas who have been featured on the AHL's First All-Star Team.

Already the franchise record holder for the most goals in a single season (39), with one more point, Blümel can become just the third Stars player in team history to surpass 70 points in a single season, joining Morin (2013-14) and Bourque (2023-24). Both of those players also won the Les Cunningham Award as the AHL's Most Valuable Player.

Texas hosts Manitoba in the final two games of the regular season Friday and Saturday at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, with puck drop scheduled for 7:00 p.m. both nights. Tickets available at www.texasstars.com/tickets and the H-E-B Center Box Office.
