Dallas Stars
Miro Heiskanen won’t play against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; Prime Video, KDFI, TSN3). The defenseman left early in the second period of a 6-5 win at the Washington Capitals on Nov. 3 after he was hit into the boards by Justin Sourdif. Heiskanen, who skated on his own Wednesday and could return this weekend, will miss his third straight game. “He won’t be in tomorrow. We hope maybe on the weekend but it’s definitely not tomorrow,” Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. “He’s on the ice so it’s just not practicing right now. …if he gets on the ice with the group then I think he is probably pretty close to playing, but he’s not there yet.” Heiskanen has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 15 games and is averaging 24:53 of ice time per game.
