2025 Fantasy Outlook
Heiskanen suffered a long-term knee injury in January that kept him out until the second round of the playoffs. Even when healthy, it was a down year for the do-it-all defenseman, who had just 25 points in 50 regular-season contests. His 0.5 points-per-game pace was his lowest in four years, and it's possible Heiskanen won't be the top offensive defenseman for the Stars anymore since Thomas Harley has emerged as an excellent scorer from the blue line. Heiskanen still plays a massive role thanks to his defensive skill set, and he's likely due for a bounce-back on offense, as he hasn't matched the highs of his 73-point effort in 2022-23 or the 54-point season that followed it in 2023-24. He may come at a discount in drafts this fall due to the lengthy absence he had, and savvy fantasy managers will be willing to take the risk on him given his track record. Read Past Outlooks
Strikes on power play in loss
Heiskanen scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4.
ANALYSIS
Heiskanen has a goal, three assists, 17 shots on net and six blocked shots over four games in this first-round series. The defenseman was bothered by a lower-body injury that kept him out of the last three regular-season contests, but he's averaged 31:39 per game so far in the playoffs, which has included two games going past regulation time. Heiskanen's points have all come on the power play as the Stars continue to thrive in that situation.

Heiskanen's defensive game gets plenty of love, but his offense took a step back from 73 points in 2022-23 to 54 points last year. Part of that came from a 13-point decline (34 to 21) on the power play. Heiskanen can skate with anyone in the league and has good shutdown instincts. The Finnish defenseman should continue to eat a ton of minutes, but with many of them being in his own zone, his offense will often be in the very good tier rather than great or elite. The emergence of Thomas Harley could also lead to a smaller power-play role for Heiskanen, though they were paired together at even strength for the second half of last season. The floor is set at about 50 points for Heiskanen, and he could very well deliver in the range of 60-70 if he bounces back in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might play in Game 1
Heiskanen, who is dealing with a lower-body injury, is likely to play in Game 1 on Saturday, but his return isn't certain, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Heiskanen missed the final three games of the regular season due to the injury. He had nine goals and 63 points in 77 regular-season outings with the Stars in 2025-26. Ilya Lyubushkin might be a healthy scratch Saturday if Heiskanen is ready to return.
