The Stars have acquired left wing Eric Nystrom from the Wild in exchange for future considerations.
Nystrom, who cleared re-entry waivers Wednesday afternoon, had four goals and eight assists for the Wild during the 2010-11 season.
The acquisition of Nystrom, who is in the second year of a three-year contract and has a cap hit of $1.4 million, will help keep the Stars above the salary cap floor when the team becomes healthy later this week.
