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.

The Dallas Stars won't have defenseman Miro Heiskanen for the foreseeable future, as he's been designated as week-to-week after suffering a knee injury.

Miro Heiskanen suffered a lower-body injury during a collision with Mark Stone during a 4-3 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The injury happened after Stone fell into Heiskanen's knee during a tripping incident. Heiskanen had an MRI, and the Stars are waiting for more details. He will also see a specialist.

Off, injuries are starting to pile up for star players across the league. Among them are Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov and Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who are expected to miss several weeks.

Bad things happen in hockey sometimes, and it's nobody's fault. That sure looks like what happened in the Stone and Heiskanen incident, says Ken Campbell.
