Dallas stars defender Miro Heiskanen participated in the morning skateboard on Saturday, but will not play in match 1 of the first round series of the Western Conference against the Visit Colorado Avalanche.
Stars coach Pete Deboer said Heiskanen took a step in the right direction as he seeks to turn the corner after knee surgery. Heiskanen, who wore a contactless jersey on Saturday, is labeled day by DEBOER.
“Certainly a step in the right direction compared to the place where we have been in the last 2 1/2 months,” said Deboer.
Deboer said the next step is that Heiskanen is participating in a full -contact practice session.
Heiskanen, 25, was sidelined since January 28 after her left knee was injured in a collision with Vegas Golden Knights before Mark Stone.
Heiskanen has collected 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 50 games this season while recording a team record 25:10 of ice per game.
Since he was selected by Dallas with the overall choice n ° 3 of the NHL 2017 NHL, Heiskanen recorded 283 points (58 goals, 225 assists) in 475 career games in seven seasons.
