The Pittsburgh Penguins traded defenseman Jamie Oleksiak back to the Dallas Stars on Monday for a 2019 fourth-round pick.
Last season, the Stars had traded Oleksiak to the Penguins, also for a fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft. In 83 games with Pittsburgh, the 26-year-old Oleksiak had eight goals, 17 assists and a plus/minus rating of 18.
Oleksiak, drafted 14th overall by the Stars in the 2011 NHL draft, has appeared in 140 games for Dallas, with seven goals, 15 assists and a plus/minus rating of -23.
"Our blueline has been depleted by injury all season and acquiring Jamie will give us depth at defense," Stars general manager Jim Nill said in a statement.
