Stars Re-Sign Defenseman Fistric to Three-Year Contract

The Dallas Stars locked-up a key piece of their future on Wednesday by re-signing defenseman Mark Fistric to a three-year contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 36 games last season with the Stars, Fistric scored four assists and 42 penalty minutes. He also appeared in 35 games with Manitoba of the AHL, scoring eight assists and 26 penalty minutes. Not a bad signing for the Stars, as Fistric plays with plenty of grit and toughness and has good stay-at-home defenseman qualities. He will likely develop into a top-six defenseman and should be in a Stars uniform for years to come.
