The Dallas Stars turned the Monday blues into something special today. Just moments ago, the Stars announced that they had re-signed rookie defenseman Jyrki Jokipakka to a two-year extension.
Jokipakka played a majority of the season for the Stars, and was one of the many young prospects on the Stars blue line. Jokipakka’s skill increased as the year moved on and by the end he was one of the most diligent members of the Stars blue line.
Here is the press release from DallasStars.com:
