SEATTLE -- The Dallas Stars' 7-2 loss Sunday to the Seattle Kraken was further compounded by the loss of their star defenseman Miro Heiskanen in the second period.
Heiskanen was injured in the buildup to the Kraken's first goal with 17:50 remaining in the second period of Game 3. Seattle rookie forward Tye Kartye fired a shot on net from the left faceoff circle that may have been deflected before Heiskanen was struck in the face.
After the puck went off Heiskanen's face, he fell to the ground in front of the net before the Kraken's Jordan Eberle recovered the loose puck for a 1-0 lead.
