The Dallas Stars re-signed defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to a one-year contract, the team announced on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old spent part of last season with the Stars, dressing in 19 games and contributing two assists. He also suited up in eight games for the Texas Stars of the American Hockey league where he added another two assists.
"Jamie brings size and a physical element to our backend," general manager Jim Nill said in a release. "We're expecting him to have a solid summer of training and development and look forward to him competing for a regular spot in our lineup."
With Oleksiak now locked up, the club has just one restricted free agent to contend with, forward Valeri Nichushkin.
