Loaned by Dallas, Arttu Hyry’s 29-Second Double Ignites Texas Stars

Arttu Hyry made an immediate splash in the minors after his reassignment from Dallas, with Stars beat coverage reporting the 24-year-old scored two goals just 29 seconds apart in his return to the Texas Stars, Dallas’ AHL affiliate. The loan was announced in a Dallas Stars release that began, "FRISCO, Texas - Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today the club loaned forward Arttu Hyry to the Texas Stars, Dallas’ primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League."

Hyry, a 24-year-old from Oulu, Finland, was originally undrafted before signing with Dallas on April 14, 2024. The organization describes him as a second-year forward; the release noted he was the top-returning Stars goal scorer from the 2024-25 club that advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

The Dallas release lists Hyry’s recent NHL usage: he has appeared in four games for Dallas since he was called up Feb. 25, recording nine shots on goal and a +1 rating in those appearances. The notes also recapped last season’s limited NHL time, saying Hyry tallied one assist in five NHL games for Dallas during the previous campaign.

At the AHL level this season Hyry has 17 points, with seven goals and 10 assists in 26 games, and the release reports he is on a three-game AHL point streak. Hyry’s 2024-25 AHL totals underscore his scoring pedigree: he scored 24 goals and totaled 49 points in 67 AHL games last season.

The two-goal burst that rocketed Hyry back into headlines is cited in a short Stars beat report that said, "Freshly loaned to AHL's Texas Stars, Arttu Hyry scored two goals just 29 seconds apart. Provides instant impact in return to minors." That game detail does not appear in the Dallas loan release, and the release itself did not list opponent, game date, period or official box score information. The Texas Stars site excerpted in the material shows a Game Center section and an Upcoming Games area and lists opponents such as the Chicago Wolves and Bakersfield Condors multiple times, but those page snippets do not tie any specific game to Hyry’s two-goal performance.

The Dallas transaction release includes Photo Credit: Rick Crossman and carries a 2026 copyright footer. It does not specify the length of the loan or recall conditions, leaving roster logistics unconfirmed in the public release. If the 29-second double is confirmed in the official AHL box score and Texas Stars recap, it would be immediate evidence that the 24-year-old can translate the 24-goal form he showed in 2024-25 into the type of short-burst scoring that can swing AHL games and, in turn, affect Dallas’ decisions on recalls and depth moving forward.
