Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen undergoes knee surgery, listed as month to month

Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen underwent knee surgery in New York on Tuesday

FEBRUARY 4 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Facing extended absence Heiskanen underwent successful knee surgery in New York on Tuesday and is being labeled month-to-month, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Heiskanen's injury is a brutal loss for a Dallas club that has its eyes on contending for the Stanley Cup this season. Heiskanen was injured Jan. 28 against the Golden Knights after a collision with Mark Stone and placed on injured reserve Friday. Given his timeline, it's unclear whether Heiskanen will be back in time before the conclusion over the regular season. While he's unavailable, Brendan Smith should receive more opportunities, while Thomas Harley will quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit.

Designated for IR Heiskanen (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site Friday.

Impact Heiskanen's placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was labeled week-to-week and was ruled out for the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 25-year-old blueliner is still awaiting the results of an MRI to determine exactly how long he will be on the shelf. In the meantime, Thomas Harley is expected to take Heiskanen's spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Might need surgery Heiskanen (knee) is out indefinitely and might need knee surgery, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Thursday.

Impact Heiskanen will meet with doctors Friday to have his MRI examined. It's not clear if he'll miss weeks or months, but the Stars believe he will at least return before the end of the 2024-25 campaign. He has five goals, 25 points, 17 hits and 85 blocks in 50 appearances in 2024-25. Kyle Capobianco might play regularly during Heiskanen's absence.

Out of 4 Nations Face-Off Heiskanen (lower body) will be out of action through the 4 Nations Face-Off, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Heiskanen will not represent Finland during the tournament after he took a big hit Wednesday, courtesy of the Golden Knights' Mark Stone. The Stars top defenseman has a five-game point streak, giving him five goals and 25 points in 50 outings. Look for Thomas Harley to take over quarterbacking the top power play.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen week to week after a hit from Mark Stone. Defenseman won't play 4 Nations

Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is week to week with a lower-body injury sustained on a big hit from Vegas captain Mark Stone

JANUARY 30 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Deemed week-to-week Heiskanen (lower body) underwent an MRI on Wednesday and is currently considered week-to-week, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Thursday.

Impact Heiskanen's status will be further determined once the Stars get the full results of Wednesday's MRI. The 25-year-old blueliner hasn't been ruled out for the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it certainly seems to be heading in that direction. Dallas recalled Kyle Capobiano from the minors but it will likely be Ilya Lyubushkin who steps into a more prominent role with Heiskanen unavailable.

Impact Stone appeared to lose his footing when diving in for a poke-check, colliding with Heiskanen's left leg, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic. Heiskanen had trouble getting off the ice, so there's a realistic chance that this injury will cost him games. The Stars may go back to a regular six-defensemen lineup if Heiskanen is out, or they could keep Brendan Smith in the lineup at forward while having Nils Lundkvist pick up bottom-four minutes and power-play time.
