The Dallas Stars continue to bolster their roster depth, signing forward Colin Blackwell to a two-year deal worth $775,000 annually. Blackwell, who joined the Stars last summer on a similar contract, played 63 regular-season games, accumulating 17 points with six goals and 11 assists. Notably, he contributed during the playoffs, delivering a crucial overtime goal in Game 2 against the Colorado Avalanche. At 32, Blackwell adds significant experience, having played eight NHL seasons across six teams.

His role as a two-way forward is vital for the Stars, enhancing their fourth line with penalty-killing skills and speed. The new contract ensures his stay in Dallas until 2027, allowing the team to maintain continuity while seeking further success in the upcoming seasons.
