The Dallas Stars entered this season as a Stanley Cup contender, but some injuries put their championship hopes in question.
Stars head coach Pete DeBoer announced Tuesday that Heiskanen would return to action for Game 4 against the Jets. The Stars activated the defenseman from long-term injured reserve a few hours later, prior to the 7:00 p.m. puck drop.

Stars coach Pete DeBoer says this is the best response team he has had in Dallas. They keep responding and now go into Game 4 at home with a chance for a 3-1 series lead against the top-seeded Winnipeg Jets in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.
One win away from advancing to the Western Conference final, it's frightening how much more dangerous this team can get at full strength.
The Dallas Stars face the Winnipeg Jets in Game 4 of the second-round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
BOTTOM LINE: The Dallas Stars look to clinch the second round of the NHL Playoffs over the Winnipeg Jets in game five. The teams meet Tuesday for the ninth time this season. The Stars won the last meeting 3-1. Mikael Granlund scored three goals in the win.
Petrovic, who spent a large portion of the season in the AHL, scored the game-winning goal against the Jets to help give the Stars a 2-1 series lead. The goal needed a lengthy replay review before being ruled official, but it counted nevertheless.
