Dallas Stars lose Miro Heskinen for the regular season—will his return spark a first-round playoff surge against the Minnesota Wild? With a roster riddled by injuries to key players like Roope Hintz and updates on Radek Faksa and Michael Bunting, Joey Erickson questions how head coach Glenn Goldson will navigate critical matchups and maintain the blue line’s stability. Recap the Stars’ shutout win over the New York Rangers, analyze Jake Oettinger’s strong goaltending, and dig into special teams’ performance. Find out what Dallas’ home-ice advantage means for their playoff hopes, how depth defensemen like Tyler Myers and Alex Petrovic must step up, and which lineup decisions could define their postseason run. Will fresh defensive pairings and returning bodies be enough for the Stars to overcome adversity and push past Minnesota in Round One?

They will have to use Capobianco which played great this year unless Lundqvist is able to really elevate his play .
Every playoffs now huh….he's becoming totally irrelevant
Just a few weeks ago I was excited knowing our D-core at the very least was healthy given our forward situation going into the playoffs and now Miros out…. again.
Thankfully it wasn't as bad as Stone going full Gudas into his knee and Lundkvist is healthy this year but damn Myers isn't much better than Ceci/Dumba last year and Petro is not the answer to a 3rd line RHD.
