The Dallas Stars acquired Max Domi in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night on the forward's 28th birthday.
The move was announced after Dallas' 5-2 victory at Chicago. Domi was scratched for what the Blackhawks said was 'roster management.'
The NHL trade deadline is Friday.
'We're excited to add a player of Max's caliber to our lineup,' Stars general manager Jim Nill said in a release. 'His offense this season speaks for itself, but he'll also provide energy, grit and a veteran presence as we continue our push to the postseason.'
The addition of Domi gives Dallas another veteran forward as it angles for playoff positioning. The Stars (33-16-13) are on top of the Western Conference, one point better than the idle Vegas Golden Knights.
