Stars F Evgenii Dadonov signs 2-year extension

Dallas Stars forward Evgenii Dadonov signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract extension through the 2024-25 season.

Dadonov, 34, recorded 33 points (seven goals, 26 assists) in 73 games split between the Montreal Canadiens and Stars last season. He added 10 points (four goals, six assists) and a plus-5 rating in 16 playoff games for Dallas.

"Re-signing Evgenii was high on our priority list," Stars general manager Jim Nill said. "He was a key player for us down the stretch, and he elevated his game on the big stage during the playoffs. We're happy to get a deal done that works for both sides."

Dadonov has totaled 298 points (131 goals, 167 assists) in 486 career games with the Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, Vegas Golden Knights, Canadiens and Stars. He was selected by the Panthers in the third round of the 2007 NHL Draft.
