Stars’ Radek Faksa: Gets on scoresheet Tuesday

The Czech center snapped that skid with a second-period tally. Primarily a defensive forward, Faksa is a fixture on the Stars’ third line. He has contributed 14 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through seven contests.

Stars’ Radek Faksa: Secures long-term deal
Radek Faksa signed a five-year contract worth $3.25 million annually with the Dallas Stars on Sunday.Faksa has been a steady bottom-six contributor for the Stars, as he’s posted at least 10 goals in each of the past four seasons while adding a physical touch with 100 hits in three of those campaigns. He’s now tied to Dallas through the 2024-25 season. The 26-year-old likely won’t log many top-six minutes during the upcoming campaign since Joe Pavelski, Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Roope Hintz are still around, but the depth he brings to the lineup will be vital in getting the Stars back to the Stanley Cup Finals.
