The Dallas Stars announced Monday that the club has signed defenceman Dillon Heatherington to a one-year, two-way contract.

The 23-year-old Heatherington split the 2017-2018 season with Dallas and the Texas Stars of the AHL. He appeared in six regular-season NHL games with Dallas, notching one point and 26 penalty minutes.

Heatherington has appeared in 181 regular-season AHL contests with Springfield, Lake Erie/Cleveland and Texas. Over his four AHL seasons, he has recorded 51 points, 148 penalty minutes and a +18 rating. The defenceman has also tallied six points in 36 career Calder Cup Playoff games.

The Calgary, Alta., native was selected by Columbus (50th overall) at the 2013 NHL draft. Heatherington was later acquired by Dallas in an exchange for Lauri Korpikoski on March 1, 2017.
