Stars activate forwards Barch, Petersen

The Dallas Stars activated forwards Krys Barch and Toby Petersen off injured reserve prior to Thursday night's game against the San Jose Sharks.

Barch missed six games because of a foot injury and Petersen sat out six games with a broken hand.

The Stars opened roster spots for the two players earlier in the week when they sent goaltender Richard Bachman and center Aaron Gagnon to Texas of the AHL.
