FRISCO, Texas --Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has signed forward Blake Comeau to a one-year contract, which will run through the 2021-22 season. The one-year contract is worth $1 million.

Comeau, 35, recorded 14 points (4-10=14) in 51 regular-season games with Dallas during the 2020-21 campaign. Comeau led Stars forwards and ranked third among all team skaters with 106 hits in 2020-21, while he also ranked second on the team with 21 takeaways and paced Dallas with 37 penalty minutes. Additionally, Comeau finished second among club forwards and fourth among all Stars players with an average 1:42 of shorthanded time on ice per game.

Comeau has registered 333 points (140-193=333) in 903 career NHL regular-season games over 15 seasons with the New York Islanders, Calgary, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Colorado and Dallas, including 48 points (19-29=48) in 183 contests with the Stars. The forward has also skated in 53 career postseason games in five trips to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, earning 12 points (6-6=12).

"We're excited to be able to bring Blake back for another season," said Nill. "Blake's approach to the game, coupled with his determination and physical presence on the ice, has been a tremendous asset for us over the past three seasons. His vast experience has allowed him to become a strong leader in the dressing room and we're thrilled he'll be returning next season."

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound native of Meadow Lake, Sask., was originally selected by the New York Islanders in the second round (47th overall) of the 2004 NHL Draft and was signed by Dallas as a free agent on July 1, 2018.
