FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Stars have signed restricted free agent forward Roope Hintz to a three-year, $9.45 million contract.
Hintz had 19 goals and 14 assists in 60 games during the regular season for the Western Conference champions, including five game-winning goals. He had two goals and 11 assists in 25 playoff games before missing the last two games of the Stanley Cup Final because of injuries.
Stars general manager Jim Nill announced the signing on Monday.
Hintz was already playing with a fractured ankle when he was tripped into the boards during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against Tampa Bay and suffered a hip injury.
