Dallas Stars Only NHL All-Star This Year Is 19-Year Old Rookie Phenom

It's an exciting time for Dallas Stars' 19-year old rookie Miro Heiskanen. The Finnish-born defenseman has had a remarkable rookie season so far. After 49 games, he leads all rookies in time on ice at 23:06 per game, and is second among rookie defensemen in scoring with 20 points (9 goals, 11 assists). So it makes sense he was the Stars' only representative in San Jose this weekend for the NHL All-Star Game. He is also the youngest player in Stars' history to play in the annual event. Heiskanen is also set to compete in the NHL Skills Competition tonight (Friday) at 8 pm on NBC Sports Network. Heiskanen will reportedly be taking part in the 'fastest skater' event, which makes total sense because he skates like the wind. See a profile on the remarkable rookie below.
