Dallas Stars’ head coach Pete DeBoer spoke with reporters on Thursday, revealing that defenseman Miro Heiskanen has been ruled week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen was injured in Tuesday 's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. He collided with Mark Stone after Stone was tripped by Stars forward Roope Hintz.
Heiskanen was injured in the third period of the Stars’ 4-3 overtime victory over Vegas on Tuesday after taking the hit from Stone, who fell toward Heiskanen’s left knee and thigh after getting tripped.
Heiskanen is now the third critical player the Stars have lost for an extended period of time. Tyler Seguin is out for four-to-six months following hip surgery he had done in December, and Mason Marchment has missed a month for face surgery after taking a puck to the face in late December.
Vegas will play in 13 back-to-back games this season. So far, they have a 4-4-0 record in game one and a 5-2-0 record in game two.
