Sam Steel is staying in Dallas.

The Stars announced Friday they have signed the forward to a two-year, $4.2-million extension.

“We are thrilled to extend Sam for the next two years,” Stars GM Jim Nill said in a statement. “His versatility on both ends of the ice have proven to be a huge asset for our team. He is a player that we can count on to make a positive impact and do the little things that lead to wins.”
