The Philadelphia Flyers traded forward Ryan Hartman to the Dallas Stars for forward Tyler Pitlick on Monday, the clubs announced.

Hartman, a pending restricted free agent, collected 12 goals and 26 points in 83 games this season split between Philadelphia and the Nashville Predators, who included him in the Wayne Simmonds deal at the deadline.

The 24-year-old's production has dropped off since his first full NHL campaign in 2016-17, when he potted 19 goals with the Chicago Blackhawks, who dealt him to the Predators in a swap that got Chicago a late first-rounder in the 2018 draft.

Pitlick, who has one year left on his contract at a cap hit of $1 million, managed eight goals and 12 points in 47 contests with Dallas in 2018-19.

The 27-year-old posted a career-high 14 goals and 27 points for the Stars in 2017-18.
