Stars head coach Pete DeBoer announced Tuesday that Heiskanen would return to action for Game 4 against the Jets. The Stars activated the defenseman from long-term injured reserve a few hours later, prior to the 7:00 p.m. puck drop.

One win away from advancing to the Western Conference final, it's frightening how much more dangerous this team can get at full strength.

This is one of the few "early" Western Conference games on the schedule this postseason. They will drop the puck at 4:30 p.m. EDT.

Petrovic, who spent a large portion of the season in the AHL, scored the game-winning goal against the Jets to help give the Stars a 2-1 series lead. The goal needed a lengthy replay review before being ruled official, but it counted nevertheless.

The Dallas Stars left American Airlines Center on Sunday with a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets and a two-games-to-one lead in their second-round playoff series. During the second period, Stars forward Mason Marchment drove toward the Winnipeg net with what looked like a pretty solid scoring chance in front of him.

With the clock ticking toward the deadline on March 7, first-year Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky made the most of the situation and dealt Rantanen to the Stars, who then signed him to an eight-year, $96 million extension.

For the first time in awhile, the Dallas Stars have an unstoppable scorer, and that has changed their offensive identity.
