3 years agoDallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen (illness) has been back practicing with the team and is expected to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Rangers. The talented rearguard has missed three games with a non-COVID illness. Jani Hakanpaa has had a chance to move up to the first defensive pairing, but he'll be bumped down again once Heiskanen is back on the ice. The 22-year-old is a true workhorse for the Stars who logs nearly 25 minutes of action per game, and he's been making a mark all over the ice throughout the season, picking up 29 points, 39 hits and 72 blocks in 52 outings.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
