Stars' Miro Heiskanen: 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.
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.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: 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.
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.

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

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

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

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: 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.
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.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: 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.
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.

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

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

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Pair of points in Game 5 loss
Heiskanen scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild in Game 5.
Heiskanen has gotten on the scoresheet in all five games in this series, though this was his first multi-point effort since March 12 versus the Oilers. The 26-year-old defenseman has two goals and four helpers, with all but one of those five points coming on the power play. He's added 19 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating while seeing significant top-pairing minutes and ice time in all situations.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Strikes on power play in loss
Heiskanen scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4.
Heiskanen has a goal, three assists, 17 shots on net and six blocked shots over four games in this first-round series. The defenseman was bothered by a lower-body injury that kept him out of the last three regular-season contests, but he's averaged 31:39 per game so far in the playoffs, which has included two games going past regulation time. Heiskanen's points have all come on the power play as the Stars continue to thrive in that situation.

Heiskanen missed the last three games of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. He ended the campaign at 63 points, including 28 on the power play, over 77 appearances.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Deemed questionable for Game 1
Heiskanen (lower body) is questionable for Game 1 against the Wild in the first round of the 2026 postseason, per Robert Tiffin of D Magazine on Monday.
Heiskanen has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, so it's a relatively positive update that he might be an option for the start of the playoffs. Roope Hintz (lower body) is also questionable for Game 1 against the Wild, so the Stars have a couple of moving parts heading into their quest to bring the Stanley Cup back to Dallas.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Will miss rest of regular season
Heiskanen (lower body) has been ruled out for Dallas' final three regular-season games, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports Friday.
Heiskanen will complete the regular season with nine goals and 63 points in 77 outings. That's his best showing offensively since 2022-23 (11 goals, 73 points). Dallas is still hoping to get Heiskanen back during the first round of the playoffs. In the meantime, Alex Petrovic might draw into the lineup.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Doubtful for Saturday
Heiskanen (lower body) is unlikely to play Saturday versus the Rangers, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Heiskanen was unable to finish Thursday's game versus the Wild, and the Stars have no need to rush him back before the playoffs. With Heiskanen out, Thomas Harley is poised for more power-play usage. The Stars have a number of options on the blue line to bring into the lineup.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Hurt in Thursday's game
Heiskanen (lower body) is questionable to return to Thursday's game versus the Wild.
Heiskanen was injured on a check by Ryan Hartman in the first period. The 26-year-old Heiskanen's questionable label is moderately encouraging, but the Stars really don't need to risk further injury for the defensemen, especially in this game against their first-round playoff opponent.
