Stars sign Janmark to 1-year, $2.3M contract

The Dallas Stars have agreed to a one-year, $2.3-million deal with forward Mattias Janmark, the club announced Wednesday.

The 6-foot-1, 196-pound center skated in 81 games with the Stars last season, recording a career-high 19 goals and 34 points. Janmark missed the 2016-17 campaign due to a knee injury after tallying 29 points in his rookie year.

"Mattias is a strong and versatile player who always makes his presence felt when he is on the ice," Stars general manager Jim Nill said. "His intelligence and determination have built the foundation of a tremendous, young player, and we are thrilled to have him returning as a member of the Stars."

The Danderyd, Sweden native was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the third round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and was acquired by the Stars in 2015.
