Miro Heiskanen had an immediate impact for the Dallas Stars in these NHL playoffs, even after missing 42 games because of a knee injury.

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.

Both of these players made a big impact for their teams, and the one returning for the Stars could be the same story. Multiple sources are reporting that, if things go well at morning skate, Miro Heiskanen will return for Game 4 on Tuesday night. To say that his return is huge would be an understatement.
