Miro Heiskanen o2.5 shots (+142)

Heiskanen generated two shots on five attempts in the mini-series opener against the Panthers. What that doesn’t show is he also had a couple of shots that were deflected in front and counted for others. The opportunities were there. With the Stars considered the ‘home’ team in Game 1, head coach Pete DeBoer was able to use the last change to his advantage and get Heiskanen a lot of ice time against Florida’s top line. He won’t have such luxury in Game 2, meaning Heiskanen probably won’t play as much against Florida’s top players. Easier minutes seem to benefit Heiskanen in his effort to generate shots. He has attempted 6.1 shots per game over his last 20 road games, which is a notable difference from the 5.4 he produced over that same span at home.
