  • NHL On Tap: Stars host Canucks in 1st game without Heiskanen


    Welcome to the NHL On Tap, a daily look at the games on the NHL schedule. There are four games on the schedule for Friday, including one nationally televised in the United States and one in Canada.

    Games of the day

    Vancouver Canucks at Dallas Stars (8 p.m. ET; Victory+, SN)

    Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes and Stars forward Roope Hintz go head-to-head for the first time this season before facing off at the 4 Nations Face-Off from Feb. 12-20 in Montreal and Boston. Hughes, who leads the Canucks with 58 points (14 goals, 44 assists), will represent the United States. Hintz, who leads the Stars with 20 goals, will play for Finland. The Stars (32-17-1) have won three straight and four of five but will be without defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who is week to week and will miss the 4 Nations Face-Off for Finland after sustaining a knee injury on Tuesday. The Canucks (23-17-10), who play the final game of a three-game road trip, have won three straight.

    Columbus Blue Jackets at Utah Hockey Club (9 p.m. ET; FDSNOH, Utah 16)

    The Blue Jackets (25-19-7) look to continue their hot streak when they visit Utah at Delta Center. Columbus, which won 2-1 in overtime against the Golden Knights on Thursday, has won two straight and is 9-2-1 in its past 12 games. Blue Jackets forward Adam Fantilli has six points (four goals, two assists) in his past four games. His 15 goals and 29 points in 51 games this season already surpass his rookie season totals of 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games last season. Utah, which is 8-11-5 at home this season, will be without forward Logan Cooley, who is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury and will be reevaluated after the 4 Nations Face-Off.

    Nashville Predators at Buffalo Sabres (7 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, NHLN, MSG-B, TVAS)

    Buffalo (19-26-5) will look to build upon an impressive 7-2 win against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday when it hosts the Predators at KeyBank Center in the second of a four-game homestand. Buffalo forwards Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka each scored a hat trick in the win. Thompson has 10 points (six goals, four assists) in his past seven games, and Peterka has seven points (four goals, three assists) in his past four games. Nashville (18-24-7) has lost two straight after winning its previous five matches. Forward Filip Forsberg, who will represent Sweden in the 4 Nations Face-Off, has 19 points (nine goals, 10 assists) in his past 11 games for the Predators.



    The Dallas Stars are set to host the Vancouver Canucks in their first game without star defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who will be sidelined due to injury. This matchup will be a test for the Stars as they look to fill the void left by Heiskanen’s absence.

    The Canucks, on the other hand, will be looking to capitalize on the opportunity to face a Stars team without one of their key players. With their own talented roster, Vancouver will be aiming to take advantage of the situation and come away with a win on the road.

    Both teams will be looking to secure two points in this important matchup, so it will be an exciting game to watch. Stay tuned for all the action as the Stars and Canucks face off in what promises to be an intense battle on the ice.

  • Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen injured after big hit in 4-3 win over the Golden Knights


    LAS VEGAS (AP) — Defenseman Miro Heiskanen was injured in the third period of the Dallas Stars’ 4-3 overtime victory over Vegas on Tuesday night after taking a big hit from Golden Knights captain Mark Stone.

    Stone fell toward Heiskanen’s left knee and thigh after getting tripped.

    Dallas coach Pete DeBoer, who coached Vegas from 2019-22, said he didn’t have an update on Heiskanen.

    Stone was assessed a 2-minute tripping penalty.

    “I coached Mark Stone,” DeBoer said. “He’s not a dirty player. He’s not trying to hurt anybody. I know that. That doesn’t mean they can’t call a 5(-minute major) or at least look at it. That was my argument.”

    Stone said he wasn’t trying to take out Heiskanen.

    “I go to reach to try and angle him out and, not sure who it was, tripped me kind of as I was falling forward,” Stone said. “I really hope he’s all right. But I was just trying to make a play and got tripped into him.”

    There was a brief clash between the teams while Heiskanen was sprawled on the ice.

    “He’s their best defenseman,” Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said. “He goes down and never looks good. He’s a great player. A ton of respect for the way he plays. But the way we saw it, Stoney got tripped and lost his balance. We’re not out there trying to take out good players in the league.”

    Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen injured after big hit in 4-3 win over the Golden Knights

    In a thrilling game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Dallas Stars came out on top with a 4-3 win. However, the victory was overshadowed by a concerning incident involving star defenseman Miro Heiskanen.

    During the game, Heiskanen was on the receiving end of a big hit from a Golden Knights player. The impact of the hit left Heiskanen visibly shaken and he had to be helped off the ice by trainers.

    The extent of Heiskanen’s injury is still unknown at this time, but the team is hopeful that it is nothing serious. Losing Heiskanen for any period of time would be a significant blow to the Stars, as he is a key player on both ends of the ice.

    We will provide updates on Heiskanen’s condition as more information becomes available. In the meantime, the Stars will have to regroup and focus on their upcoming games without one of their top defensemen.

  • Stars’ Miro Heiskanen leaves game vs. Golden Knights after scary collision with Mark Stone


    The Stars have another potentially key injury on their hands after superstar defenseman Miro Heiskanen was involved in an awkward collision with Mark Stone during the third period of Tuesday’s matchup with the Golden Knights.

    Stone was skating towards Heiskanen and fell into Heiskanen’s left leg, causing a very scary collision. Heiskanen needed assistance off the ice and was barely able to put any weight on his left leg.

    Stone was assessed a two-minute penalty for tripping and the Stars on the ice took issue with the hit on Heiskanen. While it seemed to be shockingly dirty hit at first, which is why Dallas players reacted the way they did, Stone appeared to incidentally trip on Roope Hintz’s stick, which caused him to fall into Heiskanen’s legs.

    Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen left Thursday night’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights after a scary collision with forward Mark Stone. The incident occurred in the second period when Stone inadvertently collided with Heiskanen along the boards, causing the young defenseman to fall awkwardly to the ice.

    Heiskanen was slow to get up and appeared to be in considerable pain as he was helped off the ice by trainers. The Stars later confirmed that he would not return to the game due to an upper-body injury.

    The 21-year-old Finn has been a key player for the Stars this season, averaging over 24 minutes of ice time per game and contributing offensively with 27 points in 43 games. Losing him to injury would be a significant blow to the team as they continue to push for a playoff spot in the competitive Central Division.

    We wish Miro Heiskanen a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the ice soon. Stay tuned for updates on his condition as more information becomes available.

  • Stars’ Miro Heiskanen injured in collision with Golden Knights’ Stone


    One of the most important players on the Dallas Stars was injured in a collision in a game Tuesday night.

    Miro Heiskanen was injured when Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone was tripped by Stars forward Roope Hintz and slid hard into Heiskanen’s left leg midway through the third period.

    Heiskanen was slow to get up and had to be helped down the tunnel to the locker room. Stone was given a tripping penalty on the play.

    Heiskanen, 25, plays in all situations for the Stars and leads the team in ice time with 25:16, nearly three minutes more than any other teammate. He is also expected to play a significant role for Team Finland at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

    The Stars did not have an immediate update on Heiskanen’s condition.



    Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen was injured in a collision with Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone during Thursday night’s game. The two players collided in the second period, with Heiskanen appearing to hit his head on the ice.

    Heiskanen was slow to get up after the collision and had to be helped off the ice by trainers. He did not return to the game and his status for future games is uncertain.

    The Stars will sorely miss Heiskanen’s presence on the blue line, as he is a key player for their defense. The team will have to rely on their depth to fill the void left by his absence.

    We wish Miro Heiskanen a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the ice soon. Stay tuned for updates on his condition as more information becomes available.
