Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen will not play in Game 4 against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, head coach Pete DeBoer said. Heiskanen, who had knee surgery in February and hasn’t played since Jan. 28, was as close to a full participant as he’s been at Friday’s practice, skating in line rushes and taking reps on both power play units.

The Avalanche lost 2-1 in overtime to the Dallas Stars in Game Three of the First Round at Ball Arena on Wednesday. Valeri Nichushkin scored for Colorado while Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 26 of the 28 shots he faced.
