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.

DALLAS – Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen, who each missed the entire Western Conference First Round for the Dallas Stars, are expected to return from injury in the second round, though coach Pete DeBoer is not certain when that will be.

Robertson was injured during the last game of the regular season. In his 82 games, he recorded 35 goals and 45 assists for 80 points. His time on ice took a slight dip from 18:19 a game last season to 17:48 in the 2024-25 season.
