Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, head coach Peter DeBoer announced on Thursday. Heiskanen, 25, was hurt in a collision with Vegas forward Mark Stone in the third period of Tuesday's 4-3 overtime road win against the Golden Knights.

The former Ottawa Senators star was ripped on social media after colliding with Miro Heiskanen's knee on Tuesday night.
