The Dallas Stars on Monday signed veteran forward Matt Duchene to a one-year, $3 million contract, bringing back the player who put the club in last season's Western Conference Finals.

Duchene, who scored the game-winning goal in double overtime on May 18, eliminating the Colorado Avalanche in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, found a new home in Dallas, a veteran club that has its sights set on a title next season.

At 33 years old and coming off a lengthy postseason run with the Stars, this figured to be Duchene's last major deal in the league, but instead of taking something with a longer term elsewhere, he decided to stay put with a short deal.
