Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen sent a defiant message after mounting an inspiring comeback against the Edmonton Oilers.

The Dallas Stars aren’t getting shut out on the power play in the Western Conference final against Edmonton this time.

After missing over three months with a knee injury, the 25-year-old defenseman is back on the blue line and working wonders for Dallas

When Miro Heiskanen was day-to-day for the entire first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, many questioned the Stars’ urgency in his delayed return to the lineup. But it all proved to be for good reason,

The Dallas Stars are getting ready for the Western Conference Final showdown against the Edmonton Oilers. Dallas lost to Edmonton last year in this same spot, so they will try to get themselves back to the Stanley Cup Final.

And while two overtime victories and a game seven hat trick from Mikko Rantanen in the team’s opening round win over the Colorado Avalanche certainly served as a path to getting back on track, a daunting task awaited in the second round in the form of the western conference’s top team from the 2024-25 season, the Winnipeg Jets.

Even after a lopsided Game 2 loss, the Dallas Stars won’t have their top defenseman against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. Stars coach Pete DeBoer told reporters Saturday that Heiskanen would not suit up for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoff series.

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.

The Stars' long-awaited breakthrough to the Stanley Cup Final may come down to how well their best defenseman contains the best player in the world.
