Sparks comeback effort
Heiskanen scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
ANALYSIS
Both of Heiskanen's points came on power plays early in the third period. The 25-year-old defenseman got the Stars back within a goal and then added a helper on Mikael Granlund's equalizer. This effort gave Heiskanen four points, eight shots on net, five hits and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff appearances since he returned from a long-term knee injury. He appears to be close to 100 percent, as he's handled a heavier workload over the Stars' last two games, and the team was comfortable enough to go back to six defensemen in the lineup for this series opener.

Heiskanen's defensive game gets plenty of love, but his offense took a step back from 73 points in 2022-23 to 54 points last year. Part of that came from a 13-point decline (34 to 21) on the power play. Heiskanen can skate with anyone in the league and has good shutdown instincts. The Finnish defenseman should continue to eat a ton of minutes, but with many of them being in his own zone, his offense will often be in the very good tier rather than great or elite. The emergence of Thomas Harley could also lead to a smaller power-play role for Heiskanen, though they were paired together at even strength for the second half of last season. The floor is set at about 50 points for Heiskanen, and he could very well deliver in the range of 60-70 if he bounces back in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Might play Tuesday
According to Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet, there is a "strong indication" that Heiskanen, who has been contending with a knee injury, could receive medical clearance to return to the lineup for Game 4 against the Jets on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The last time Heiskanen appeared in a game was Jan. 28 versus the Golden Knights, so even if he suits up Tuesday, it's possible he plays in a limited role. Thomas Harley has managed 3:33 of power-play ice time per game through 10 postseason outings, so it remains to be seen if Heiskanen will retain his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit right away. Heiskanen has an excellent track record in his postseason career with 16 goals and 61 points over 85 appearances.
