Tatar recorded a team-best 25 goals to go along with 21 assists while playing in all 82 games last season. The campaign was the final one in Tatar's three-year, $2.7 million deal.

The 26-year-old Slovak has collected 99 goals, 95 assists and 112 penalty minutes in 345 career contests since being selected in the second round of the 2009 NHL draft.
