The Dallas Stars acquired defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday in exchange for defenseman Mathew Dumba and a 2028 second-round draft pick.

Kolyachonok, 24, recorded a combined seven points (two goals, five assists) and averaged 13:01 of ice time in 35 games with the Utah Mammoth and the Penguins last season. Pittsburgh claimed him off waivers on Feb. 10. He has one year remaining on the contract he signed with Utah in June 2024.

The Belarus native has 14 career points (four goals, 10 assists) over four seasons with the Arizona Coyotes (2021-24), Mammoth and Penguins.

Dumba notched 10 points (one goal, nine assists) and averaged 15:18 of ice time last year for Dallas. Dumba, who will be 31 on July 25, also has one season remaining on a two-year deal worth $7.5 million he signed with the Stars in July 2024.

He has 258 points (84 goals, 174 assists) in his 12-year career with the Minnesota Wild (2013-23), Coyotes (2023-24), Tampa Bay Lightning (2023-24) and Stars.

Minnesota selected him seventh overall in the 2012 NHL Draft. Kolyachonok was a second-round pick by Florida in the 2019 draft.
