Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen suffered an upper-body injury during a victory over the Washington Capitals.

Head coach Glen Gulutzan stated that Heiskanen is scheduled to be evaluated on Wednesday, with no recovery timeline currently announced.
Heiskanen entered Tuesday's contest leading Dallas blueliners with 11 points in 14 games while averaging nearly 26 minutes per game alongside Esa Lindell. The Stars, who conclude their road trip on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, face a significant loss if Heiskanen is sidelined, given his crucial role on both special teams units.
