Ben Gleason - NHL News & Rumors

Released from PTO Gleason has been released by Dallas on Wednesday from his professional tryout agreement.

Impact Gleason had two goals and 22 points in 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. The 28-year-old defenseman might still be able to earn a two-way contract with a franchise, but it's very likely that he'll start the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Lands PTO with Dallas Gleason signed a professional tryout agreement with the Stars on Wednesday.

Impact Gleason hasn't appeared in an NHL game since he made four regular-season appearances with Dallas during the 2018-19 campaign, but he'll have an opportunity to compete with the Stars during training camp ahead of the 2026-27 regular season. The 28-year-old recorded two goals, 20 assists and 23 PIM across 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Iowa last year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most, or all, of his time in the minors once again this season.

Impact Gleason had been limited to one assist over his previous 11 games. He's at 10 points in 25 outings this season, though he also has a minus-13 rating. The defenseman has logged a pair of three-assist efforts, which obscures his generally lackluster play overall.

Impact Gleason isn't known for his offense, and he was limited to 18 points in 36 regular-season games between Bakersfield and Lehigh Valley last year. His first season in Iowa is off to a positive start with five points in seven contests, though he also has a minus-6 rating. Gleason has just four games of NHL experience under his belt, and they came in 2018-19, so it would likely take a number of injuries to the Wild's blue line for him to get a call-up.
