The Dallas Stars will once again be without top defenseman Miro Heiskanen against the Utah Mammoth on Thursday night.

Heiskanen is currently away from the team due to a personal matter. He also missed Tuesday night’s loss against the Anaheim Ducks.

Dallas is in the midst of a lengthy, coast-to-coast road trip that began on Jan. 6 against Carolina, but will come to an end following the Stars’ visit to Utah on Thursday.

In 46 games this season, Heiskanen has tallied 29 assists and seven goals while providing top-shelf work along the blue line for Dallas.
