Stars’ Miro Heiskanen suffers upper-body injury in win vs. Capitals

The Dallas Stars held on for a wild 6-5 victory over the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Tuesday night, jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the second period and weathering a furious late comeback in the cross-conference tilt. But the victory came with an injury concern involving star defenseman Miro Heiskanen, who left with an upper-body injury after taking just one shift in the second period. He took a hit from Caps forward Justin Sourdif and departed shortly afterward, finishing with 9:41 across eight shifts.
