He had an MRI yesterday and will see a specialist today to learn more about the injury.
He is doubtful for 4 Nations, but no official decision yet.
The injury occurred after a collision with Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone, forcing Heiskanen to leave the game. There is a lot of talk about how dirty or intentional the hit was by Stone, who said he was tripped, but some believe he dove into Heiskanen’s lower body.
According to Lia Assimakopoulos of the Dallas News, Heiskanen had an MRI yesterday and will see a specialist today to learn more about the injury. “He is doubtful for 4 Nations, but no official decision yet,” is what was reported.
The potentially good news here, according to reporter Shawn Shapiro, is that as long as DeBoer is giving the update there is still a chance Heiskanen will be ok. He tweeted, “Jim Nill will often address media or send out PR update if it’s more serious.”
