Miro Heiskanen was on the sidelines for most of March due to mononucleosis.
Dallas Stars’ number one defender Miro Heiskanen has recovered from illness after becoming ill.
At the beginning of March, Heiskanen contracted mononucleosis. Heiskanen was out of action for several weeks, but on Tuesday he played for the NHL troughs again.
– It feels good now. At first I tried to pull a short shift. The foot didn’t weigh, even though there was a long break, Heiskanen commented to Iltalehti.
Heis was the ice age king of Dallas before the blight. In the return match, the Finnish pack clocked ice for less than 20 minutes, while before the disease the time was almost regularly more than 25 minutes.
When Heiskanen describes his symptoms, it is clear that the disease struck violently.
– The first week had a fever and my throat was pretty sore. Otherwise there was fatigue. Fortunately, however, I got it relatively easily and got back to playing, Heiskanen says.
A key player

Heiskanen, who represented Stars from the period 2019–2019, is one of the key players in the star shirts.
This season has achieved 4 + 25 matches in 53 matches. The score is 8 + 27 in only 68 matches, so when he reaches the level before the disease, he will be on his way to a new record.
– It’s been a good thing. I would like more efficiency, otherwise my play has been good, Heiskanen himself comments.
However, as a defender, Heiskanen also offers help to Stars other than in the form of power points.
Its Stars are also aware of. Last year, Heiskanen was awarded an eight-year, $ 67 million extension contract. It says that Stars wants to build its defense on a Finn.
After returning to real action, Heiskanen is ready to help his team towards the culmination of spring.
– Our season has been a bit mixed. Smoothness should be achieved. Recently, the going has been a little better. We are trying to continue it and get into the playoffs, Heiskanen says.
Dallas Stars is currently ninth in the Western Conference. A place in the playoffs is still available, but two more points should be scored at the current rate for the rest of the regular season.
