He scored eight points (two goals, six assists) in 57 games with the Stars this season and had one assist in 27 postseason games to help Dallas advance to the Stanley Cup Final, when they lost in six games to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"Andrej did an outstanding job coming in and immediately making a difference on our back end last season," Stars general manager Jim Nill said. "With his intelligence and experience, we look forward to Andrej continuing to play an impactful role in our defense corps."
