Miro Heiskanen’s absence is becoming a major concern for the Dallas Stars as they approach the postseason. Originally labeled as a “week-to-week” injury, Heiskanen has now missed over a month, with no clear timeline for his return. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the latest updates—or lack thereof—on Heiskanen’s status and what it could mean for the Stars’ playoff chances.

How has his absence impacted the team’s defense and goaltending? Can Thomas Harley step up as a true No. 1 defenseman in his place? And if Heiskanen isn’t back for Game 1 of the playoffs, just how much trouble are the Stars in?

Ryan also analyzes the team’s recent struggles, including uninspired performances against Winnipeg and Colorado, and what the Stars need to do to regain their form before the postseason. Plus, a quick look at NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman’s latest press conference and a fun “Who Cares” segment ranking Ryan’s top Stars jerseys. (yes, the Mooterus makes an appearance)

Tune in for an in-depth breakdown of what’s ahead for the Stars as the playoffs draw closer.
