Bad things happen in hockey sometimes, and it's nobody's fault. That sure looks like what happened in the Stone and Heiskanen incident, says Ken Campbell.

Heiskanen will meet with doctors Friday to have his MRI examined. It's not clear if he'll miss weeks or months, but the Stars believe he will at least return before the end of the 2024-25 campaign. He has five goals, 25 points, 17 hits and 85 blocks in 50 appearances in 2024-25. Kyle Capobianco might play regularly during Heiskanen's absence.
