Dallas Stars‘ 2nd year defenseman Ryan Shea(5) got himself a 1st AHL goal in 63rd game.
He does have 14 assists in 36 games this season with a +2 rating on a team that fights for wins.
The 6’1″ 177 lbs. blue liner spent four years at Northeastern University, serving as captain in his senior year and connecting for college career high 5 goals and 26 assists that earned him his 2-year entry level deal.
In his first three years at school, he was a 10+ assist guy, so has that in the arsenal.
The 25-year old is a restricted free agent at the end of the current session, but should be a bit of a no-brainer to keep in the fold.
Tallying 3 goals and 29 assists last season, the Milton, MA native will stay in Texas for a 3rd session, signing a 1-year, 2-way deal with the parent club.
He pretty much had another monster campaign in the Deep South with 7 goals, 21 assists and a monster +37 rating, and as an unrestricted free agent, he is out there looking for the best deal, situation, coming away with a 1-year 2-way deal to Pittsburgh Penguins for 2023/2024.
Starting with plenty of games in the show, he is reassigned to affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and does decently well for him to earn his way back and in his 25th game, scores a 1st seeing-eye, snap writer from the point NHL goal.
