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

Stars head coach Peter DeBoer told reporters Thursday that Miro Heiskanen has been ruled out week-to-week due to a lower-body injury.

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone is the current recipient of backlash after he was involved in a collision that injured Dallas Stars superstar defenseman Miro Heiskanen.

In the third period of a tight contest, Stone was tripped by Stars forward Roope Hintz, causing him to lose balance. As he fell to the ice, he took out Heiskanen’s leg. The blue liner immediately grabbed his left knee and was in visible pain as he headed towards the tunnel with the help of his teammates.
