Top defenseman Miro Heiskanen and prolific forward Jason Robertson, their leading goal scorer in the regular season, missed the seven-game series against Colorado because of lower-body injuries.

Stars coach Pete DeBoer expects to have leading goal scorer Jason Robertson and standout defenseman Miro Heiskanen available in the Western Conference semifinals after both missed Dallas' first-round series win over the Colorado Avalanche.

DeBoer addressed the status of two of Dallas' core players, Miro Heiskanen and Jason Robertson, after Saturday’s Game 7 win, offering optimism but no guarantees or a set timeline for their respective returns.
