The Stars were coming off a disappointing result in Game 1 as they fell 5-1 at home.

This is massive news for the Stars. For starters, if Heiskanen can join the Stars’ blueline for Game 3 or 4, it could be a big boost for their defense. 

Judging from the ice time given out by DeBoer in Games 1 and 2, there is a clear top four. Lian Bichsel and Alexander Petrovic played 14:52 and 15:11, respectively, in a game that nearly lasted 78 minutes. Both players saw about a three-minute increase in ice time.

Stars Call Up Reinforcements Ahead of PlayoffsStars Call Up Reinforcements Ahead of PlayoffsWith the regular season complete, NHL teams are now free to call up reinforcements going into the playoffs. The Dallas Stars announced that they called up Lian Bichsel, Alexander Petrovic and Ben Kraws.

To have five defenders who the coach is confident in playing 20 plus minutes a night in the playoffs is a big breath of fresh air. 

Robertson’s decision not to join the trip is concerning. According to another report, he is at the gym, but there are no further updates.

If Heiskanen could join the lineup for Game 3, it certainly wouldn’t hurt their chances of getting the upper hand on the Avalanche.
