Brendan Morrison will now be wearing a Dallas Stars jersey after the team picked him up after the Anaheim Ducks put him on waivers.
It’s been a tough year for Morrison who has only 10 goals and 12 assists in 62 appearances. The 33-year old signed a one-year deal with the Ducks over the summer.
"Brendan Morrison is a skilled veteran who brings valuable experience and character to our team for this playoff push," Stars co-general manager Les Jackson said in a statement. "He is a strong competitor who we are excited to add to our group."
