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. None
Feb. 22, 2026 Gleason was assigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday. - Gleason has one goal and 16 assists in 44 minor-league appearances this campaign. He hasn't seen any NHL action since he appeared in four games with Dallas during the 2018-19 regular season. None

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.
