Are Stars putting too much on Miro Heiskanen? One question for each defenseman and goalie

New York Times

Suter is still second on the Stars in time on ice, something that’s bound to happen given him being on a pairing with Heiskanen. DeBoer has already reduced Suter’s …

Jake Oettinger’s comments after the Stars lost 3-1 in Boston summed things up well. The two players most directly impacted by it are Joel Hanley, who made his season debut Tuesday, and Nils Lundkvist, who assumed some top power-play duties, was the team’s best puck-moving defenseman and set a new career high in time on ice at 22:04, the first …
