FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has signed forward Adam Erne to a one-year, two-way contract that will run through the 2025-26 season.

Erne, 30, signs with the Stars after joining the team’s training camp on a PTO. He had one assist in 10 regular-season games for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2024-25. The six-foot-one, 209-pound forward has totaled 91 points (41-50—91) in 379 regular-season NHL games with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2016-17 to 2018-19), Detroit Red Wings (2019-20 to 2022-23) and Edmonton Oilers (2023-24). He notched a career-high 20 points in both 2018-19 (7-13—20) and 2020-21 (11-9—20), a year in which he also tied for the team lead in goals. Erne has eclipsed the 100-hit milestone on four occasions and led his team in hits three times. He has also appeared in 205 regular-season AHL games, recording 106 points (47-59—106) in those contests.

A native of New Haven, Connecticut, Erne represented the United States at the 2014 IIHF U20 World Junior Championship and is one of 35 Connecticut-born players in NHL history to appear in an NHL game. He was originally selected by Tampa Bay in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2013 NHL Draft.
