Miro Heiskanen out week-to-week, doubtful for 4 Nations

Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is week to week with a lower-body injury sustained from a hit by Vegas captain Mark Stone, leaving him doubtful for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. Heiskanen underwent an MRI and plans to see a specialist, but he has officially been ruled out of the tournament, which runs from February 12-20 in Montreal and Boston. The injury occurred during the third period of a recent game when Stone, after being tripped, collided with Heiskanen. While Stone has not been fined or suspended, Stars coach Pete DeBoer expressed concern over the lack of a major penalty review. Heiskanen has been a pivotal player for the Stars, contributing significantly to their success over the past seasons. The Stars currently sit second in the Central Division, and Heiskanen's absence will be felt as they continue their campaign.
