Heiskanen was on the ice again on Tuesday but did not participate in line rushes or PP drills, suggesting that he will not be in the lineup for Game 1 on Wednesday. Thomas Harley and Esa Lindell will continue to man the PP units for the Stars while Heiskanen is out.

Heiskanen continues to progress in his recovery from a knee injury, but he will not play in Game 7 vs. Colorado. Heiskanen figures to return to the lineup in Round 2, if the Stars pull it out on Saturday night.

Heiskanen has ramped up intensity at practice, seeing some contact, but will remain out of the lineup for Game 5 on Monday. The Stars struggled defensively in Game 4, losing 4-0, and would greatly benefit from Heiskanen playing. Given the desperation Dallas faces in Game 5, it poses concerns about when Heiskanen may be ready to return.

Heiskanen has practiced in a non-contact jersey the past few days and will travel to Colorado with the Stars. The tight first-round matchup is tied 1-1 with Game 3 on Wednesday, followed by a two-day break before Game 4 on Saturday. Heiskanen scored 25 points (5G / 20A) in 50 games and would provide a huge lift for a Stars team that struggled defensively down the stretch.

Heiskanen took part in the Stars' morning skate but will remain sidelined for Game 2 vs. the Avalanche. Consider him questionable for Game 3.

Stars' GM Jim Nill contradicted earlier reports stating that Heiskanen would miss the entirety of the first round of the playoffs, indicating that although he will not play in Game 1, he will likely play at some point. Before his injury, Heiskanen had five points (0G / 5A) during a five-game point streak and 25 points (5G / 20A) in 50 games.

Heiskanen has not played since suffering a knee injury in late January and subsequently undergoing knee surgery at the beginning of February. Stars' head coach Pete DeBoer revealed that there is a possibility that Heiskanen won't be ready to play until the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Earlier in the week, Stars' GM Jim Nill indicated that the hope would be to have Heiskanen ready to play midway through the first round of the playoffs. The Stars have fared well without him in the lineup, but any absence will be a massive blow to their Stanley Cup hopes.
