Defenseman Miro Heiskanen was injured in the third period of the Stars' 4-3 overtime victory over Vegas on Tuesday night after taking a big hit from Golden Knights captain Mark Stone.

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.

In the third period of a tight contest, Stone was tripped by Stars forward Roope Hintz, causing him to lose balance. As he fell to the ice, he took out Heiskanen’s leg. The blue liner immediately grabbed his left knee and was in visible pain as he headed towards the tunnel with the help of his teammates.

Las Vegas’ Stone fell into Heiskanen’s left knee in an awkward collision, which forcing Dallas’ top defenseman out of the game.

Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen is week to week with a lower-body injury sustained on a big hit from Vegas captain Mark Stone.

As if the Golden Knights’ rivalry with the Dallas Stars needed more fuel to the fire. Captain Mark Stone’s tripping penalty on Dallas defenseman Miro Heiskanen at 7:56 of the third period was a chaotic moment that proved to be the turning point in the Knights’ 4-3 overtime loss Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena.
