Dallas Stars' Top Defenseman Miro Heiskanen Sidelined with Lower-Body Injury

The team faces a significant challenge as it adjusts strategies and relies on other players to fill the void left by Heiskanen's uncertain absence.

Miro Heiskanen, the Dallas Stars' top defenseman, suffered a lower-body injury during a game against the Colorado Avalanche, leaving the team without its key player for an uncertain period.
Heiskanen's injury occurred during a collision with goaltender Scott Wedgewood in the third period of the game.
The injury is not deemed severe enough to require surgery, but Heiskanen's return is described as 'week to week' rather than 'day to day'.
The Stars will not place Heiskanen on long-term injured reserve at this point, as he is not expected to be out for the season.
The Stars will need to adjust their strategies and rely on other players to fill the significant void left by Heiskanen's absence.
