The Dallas Stars signed defenseman Roman Polak to a one-year contract extension worth $1.75 million, the team announced Thursday.

Polak, 33, joined the Stars prior to the 2018-19 season and is signing a one-year contract for the fourth consecutive year.

He was one of five Stars blue-liners on an expiring contract this summer, as Marc Methot, Taylor Fedun, and Ben Lovejoy are unrestricted free agents, while Julius Honka is an RFA.

Polak appeared in 77 games in his debut season with the Stars, recording one goal and eight assists while logging 19:10 per contest. He also led the club with 152 blocked shots.
