Miro Heiskanen - NHL News & Rumors

Still sidelined Saturday Heiskanen (upper body) has been ruled out against the Sabres on Saturday, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.

Impact While Heiskanen's status for Sunday's clash with the Panthers wasn't specifically mentioned, the fact that the team is heading into a back-to-back doesn't bode well for the blueliner's availability. The 27-year-old Finn is currently stuck in an eight-game goal drought, but he picked up five helpers over that stretch, including two with the man advantage. With Lian Bichsel (lower body) also sidelined, the Stars are expected to bring Kyle Burroughs up from the minors.

Won't play Thursday Heiskanen (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.

Impact Heiskanen will miss a third consecutive matchup Thursday, but he's been skating on his own recently and is hopeful that he'll be able to return to game action over the weekend. The Stars have games Saturday against the Sabres and Sunday against the Panthers, and it's possible that the 27-year-old is back in action for one of those matchups. Trey Taylor was called up from AHL Texas on Wednesday and will presumably play against Winnipeg.

Slated to miss Saturday's matchup Heiskanen (upper body) is slated to be sidelined for Saturday's game against the Sharks, Robert Tiffin of NHL.com reports.

Impact Heiskanen sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Capitals, and he's considered day-to-day. He'll be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup Saturday, but head coach Glen Gulutzan said that the Stars' four days off following the game against San Jose will allow for the team to be patient with Heiskanen's recovery process. It's not yet clear whether Heiskanen will be able to return Thursday against Winnipeg.

Missing Thursday's game Heiskanen (upper body) will not play in Thursday's road clash against the Blue Jackets, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Heiskanen is slated to miss his first game of the 2026-27 campaign after suffering an upper-body injury in the second period of Tuesday's matchup against the Capitals. While the Stars will be without their top blueliner Thursday, it's an encouraging sign that the 27-year-old defenseman was originally listed as day-to-day. Heiskanen will likely have a chance to play when the Stars return home to face the Sharks on Saturday. Trey Taylor will likely see an elevated role Thursday in Heiskanen's absence.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day The Stars announced Wednesday that Heiskanen (upper body) is considered day-to-day, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Heiskanen exited Tuesday's game against the Capitals in the second period due to his upper-body injury, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term absence. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available to close out the Stars' road trip Thursday against the Blue Jackets, but the team will wait to see how he feels Thursday morning before determining his status. Trey Taylor is a candidate to enter the lineup if Heiskanen is sidelined.

Won't finish contest Heiskanen (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Capitals.

Impact Heiskanen was injured early in the second period on a hit from Justin Sourdif. The 27-year-old Heiskanen will miss the rest of Tuesday's game, but his status beyond that hasn't been revealed. The Stars' road trip ends in Columbus on Thursday.

Produces pair of helpers Heiskanen notched two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact This was Heiskanen's second multi-point effort of the campaign. He's gone seven games without a goal but still has five assists, including two on the power play, in that span. The star defenseman is up to three goals, eight helpers, 26 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 14 outings this season. He should continue to see significant ice time in all situations.

Scores in shootout win Heiskanen scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Avalanche.

Impact Heiskanen tied the game at 1-1 in the second period. He's gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games, earning a goal and three helpers in that span. On the year, he's at six points, 12 shots on net, nine blocked shots, four hits and a plus-5 rating through seven appearances. Heiskanen probably can't hover around a point-per-game pace all year, but he provides quality offense for his fantasy managers.

Helps out on both goals in loss Heiskanen logged a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Heiskanen earned his first multi-point effort of the season with this performance. The 27-year-old blueliner has two goals, three assists, 10 shots on net, nine blocked shots, three hits, four PIM and a plus-3 rating over six contests so far. Heiskanen probably won't be among the most elite offensive blueliners, but he offers strong scoring and reliable defense in a workhorse role for Dallas.

Breaks deadlock vs. San Jose Heiskanen scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.

Impact Heiskanen opened the scoring with 1:09 remaining in the first period, collecting a rebound behind the net and banking a backhand off Dmitry Orlov and Yaroslav Askarov. The tally ultimately stood as the game-winner after Jake Oettinger blanked San Jose at the other end. Heiskanen continues to occupy a major role on Dallas' blue line and should remain heavily involved offensively while seeing substantial time with the Stars' top power-play unit. He has scored two goals in his first three outings of the season while averaging 2.67 shots on goal per game.

Scores early goal vs. Nashville Heiskanen scored a goal on five shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.

Impact Heiskanen needed only 47 seconds to give Dallas the lead, taking a feed from Mikko Rantanen in the right circle and beating Juuse Saros with a wrist shot. It was the Stars' first goal of the season after they were shut out by St. Louis in their season opener. Heiskanen ultimately led Dallas with five shots and logged 24:35, but the Stars failed to score again despite putting 30 shots on Saros. Heiskanen should remain a valuable fantasy contributor from Dallas' blueline -- he posted 63 points (nine goals, 54 assists) across 77 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.
