Miro Heiskanen - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Adds power-play helper in return Heiskanen notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Jets in Game 4.

Impact Heiskanen returned from a 42-game absence due to a knee injury sustained versus Vegas in January. The 25-year-old defenseman was eased back into the lineup, seeing 14:52 of ice time over 19 shifts while the Stars had seven blueliners dressed. Given the length of his absence, it may be a while longer before Heiskanen is near his regular-season average of 25:10 per game. Still, having him back is a big boost to the Stars' blue line, and it puts the team at full strength in the second round.

Miro Heiskanen has assist in playoff return for the Stars after missing 42 games with knee injury

Defenseman Miro Heiskanen had an assist in his return for Dallas Stars in the NHL playoffs after missing 3 1/2 months with a left knee injury

MAY 13, 2025 • Associated Press

Removed from LTIR Heiskanen (knee) was activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact As expected, Heiskanen appears ready to return to the lineup versus Winnipeg on Tuesday in Game 4. After missing 42 straight outings, the Stars might ease Heiskanen back into the fold by dressing seven defensemen and 11 forwards. However, he could still occupy a top-pairing role and see power-play time. Heiskanen had five goals, 25 points, 108 shots on net and 85 blocked shots across 50 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Probable to play in Game 4 Head coach Pete DeBoer said he expects Heiskanen to play in Game 4 against the Jets on Tuesday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Heiskanen will participate in Tuesday's morning skate, and as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks prior to puck drop, he'll suit up for the first time since the end of January. The Stars may elect to roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen due to Heiskanen's return, so it's unclear what type of workload the left-shot blueliner will see in his first game back from a knee injury. The 25-year-old has racked up 16 goals and 45 helpers over 85 career playoff outings.

Ruled out for Sunday Heiskanen (knee) won't be in the lineup against Winnipeg on Sunday in Game 3, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Heiskanen will miss his 42nd straight game. He remains day-to-day despite not having a clear timeline for his return to the lineup. Heiskanen had five goals, 25 points, 108 shots on net and 85 blocked shots across 50 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Not playing Friday Heiskanen (knee) has been ruled out of Game 2 in Winnipeg on Friday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Heiskanen has been out of action since Jan. 28 when he suffered a knee injury. Heiskanen will miss his 40th straight game. He has been practicing with the Stars and could return as early as Sunday when the Stars return home for Game 3. Heiskanen had five goals and 20 assists across 50 regular-season games in 2024-25.

Officially ruled out for Game 1 Heiskanen (knee) will not be available for Game 1 against the Jets on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Heiskanen has been on the shelf since Jan 28 versus Vegas due to his knee injury, a stretch of 39 games on the sidelines. The blueliner has been traveling with the team and skating, but still hasn't been cleared to play. If Heiskanen can return in the postseason, he figures to see heavy minutes in addition to taking a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Status uncertain for Game 1 Head coach Pete DeBoer said Monday that he doesn't yet know whether Heiskanen (knee) will be available for Wednesday's Game 1 against Winnipeg, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Mor...

Impact Heiskanen has been on long-term injured reserve since early March, but he's been considered day-to-day recently. He participated in Monday's practice session, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up to begin the Stars' second-round series. Even if Heiskanen is unavailable for Game 1, it certainly seems possible that he'll be back in action at some point during the second round.

Out for Game 7 Heiskanen (knee) will not play in Saturday's Game 7 versus the Avalanche, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Stars will face elimination Saturday minus their best defenseman in Heiskanen as well as top winger Jason Robertson (knee), who was also ruled out in head coach Pete DeBoer's update Friday. Heiskanen will miss his 39th straight contest, and he'll only get back into action this campaign if the Stars are able to advance to the second round.

Won't play in Game 6 Heiskanen (knee) will remain on the shelf for Game 6 against Colorado on Thursday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Impact Heiskanen made the trip for Game 6 versus Colorado on Thursday but won't be in action to face the Avs. The 25-year-old defenseman was limited to just 50 games during the regular season in which he generated five goals and 20 helpers, including seven power-play assists. At this point, Heiskanen should probably be considered questionable, at best, for Game 7 if necessary.

Joining team on road Heiskanen (knee) will travel with the Stars to Colorado ahead of Game 6 against the Avalanche on Thursday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports Wednesday.

Impact Heiskanen accompanied the Stars for their road trip to Colorado for Games 3 and 4, but didn't dress for either of those games, so his traveling doesn't necessarily mean he'll play Thursday. Still, Heiskanen is continuing to make progress, and his situation is worth monitoring. The 25-year-old had five goals and 25 points across 50 outings during the regular season.

APRIL 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Monday Heiskanen (knee) won't play against Colorado on Monday in Game 5, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Despite participating in Monday's morning skate, Heiskanen will miss his 37th straight game. He has been a regular at practices during the playoffs, but it remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Heiskanen generated five goals, 25 points, 108 shots on net and 85 blocked shots across 50 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.
