The Dallas Stars have assigned defenseman Kyle Capobianco to the Texas Stars, AHL Transactions reported Monday. 

Capobianco, who is in his first season with the Stars organziation, has split time this year between both the NHL and AHL. While being held pointless in his one appearance with Dallas, Capobiano has registered an impressive five goals and 35 points in 49 games with Texas. 

Drafted by the Arizona Coyotes in the third round of the 2015 NHL Draft, Capobianco has played in 74 career NHL regular season games across parts of seven seasons with the Coyotes, Stars and the Winnipeg Jets. During that span, the Mississauga, Ont., native has five goals and 12 points. 

Signed through next season, Capobianco provides solid depth for a team destined to make a deep run in the playoffs. Capable of contributing at both ends of the ice, Capobianco could be a secret weapon if called upon by the Stars.
