Heiskanen, whom the Stars drafted No. 3 overall in 2017, is widely regarded as a top-five defenseman in the NHL. With both lockdown defensive abilities and offensive prowess, Heiskanen recorded 25 points in 50 games for the Stars this year after logging 16 points in 19 playoff games for Dallas in 2024.

DALLAS - For the second time in the best-of-seven series, the Winnipeg Jets will look to even up their series with the Dallas Stars when the puck drops on Game 4 tonight. The Jets answered the first challenge, earning a 4-0 win in Game 2 after a setback in Game 1, and will look to follow the same script in Game 4 after Sunday's 5-2 loss.

Dallas Stars defenceman Miro Heiskanen was expected to return to the lineup for Game 4 against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night. Head coach Pete DeBoer said he anticipated Heiskanen would play if all went well at the Stars' morning skate.
