    The Dallas Stars acquired veteran winger Jamie Langenbrunner from the New Jersey Devils on Friday.

    The Devils will receive a conditional third-round 2011 draft pick in return.

    Langenbrunner, 35, is earning $2.8 million this season. He's an unrestricted free agent July 1, and with the season at about the midway point, the Stars will be responsible for about $1.4 million of his salary.

    Langenbrunner was scratched from Thursday night's game against Philadelphia as the Devils finalized the deal. He has a no-trade clause and had to OK the move.

    "I am excited to come to back," said Langenbrunner, who was drafted by the Stars. "Dallas gave me my start in the NHL and I have a lot of great memories of playing for that organization and in that city. I am excited about where that team is headed and excited to come be a part of it."

    Langenbrunner was expected to be in North Texas by Friday night, but the Stars said he wouldn't play against the New York Rangers.
