FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is week to week with a lower-body injury sustained on a big hit from Vegas captain Mark Stone, a setback that leaves the standout from Finland doubtful for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.
Stars coach Pete DeBoer said Thursday that Heiskanen had an MRI and was planning to see a specialist for more information on the prognosis.
Heiskanen was injured in the third period of the Stars' 4-3 overtime victory over Vegas on Tuesday after taking the hit from Stone, who fell toward Heiskanen's left knee and thigh after getting tripped.
