DALLAS - Jaromir Jagr is heading to Texas.
The 40-year-old Czech winger signed a US$4.55-milllion, one-year deal with the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
Jagr spent last season with the Philadelphia Flyers, where he scored 19 goals and 54 points in 73 games after returning from three years in Russia.
The five-time NHL scoring champion has 665 goals and 1,653 points in 1,346 career games with Pittsburgh, Washington, the Rangers and Philadelphia.
That leaves him eighth on the NHL's all-time points list and 11th on the all-time goals list.
