Sam Steel is staying in Dallas.
The Stars announced Friday they have signed the forward to a two-year, $4.2-million extension.
Steel, 27, has four goals and 13 assists in 53 games this season. He also leads all Stars forwards in short-handed ice time.
"We are thrilled to extend Sam for the next two years,” Stars GM Jim Nill said in a statement. “His versatility on both ends of the ice have proven to be a huge asset for our team. He is a player that we can count on to make a positive impact and do the little things that lead to wins.”
The six-foot, 189-pound native of Ardrossan, Alta., has 134 points (47 goals, 87 assists) in 392 career games with the Stars, Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks.
