(Sports Network) - The Dallas Stars announced Monday the signing of center Toby Petersen to a two-year contract worth $1.1 million. The 29-year-old Petersen notched three assists in eight games with the Stars last season. He also appeared in 16 playoff games, going pointless with a minus-four rating.
"We are very pleased to have Toby under contract the next two seasons," said co-general manager Les Jackson. "Toby is a consummate professional on and off the ice, and he played a key role for us during our playoff run this spring. We look forward to his continued contributions to our club."

Originally selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the ninth round (244th overall) of the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Petersen has tallied 16 goals and 44 points in 163 games with Pittsburgh, Edmonton and Dallas.
The club also signed defenseman Dan Jancevski to a two-year, two-way contract on Monday.
