Rotowire
Heiskanen notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Heiskanen couldn't register a single point in his first seven contests this season, but the star defenseman has snapped the drought with three assists over his last two outings -- with two of those coming on the power play. The 25-year-old has been one of the most productive blueliners from an offensive perspective in the last two seasons, and that shouldn't change despite his slow start to the campaign.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Cold start on offense
Rotowire
Heiskanen has failed to record a point through the Stars' first six games of the season.
Heiskanen is averaging 24:44 of ice time and has a plus-3 rating, but the Stars' offense has been almost exclusively dependent on the forwards.

Heiskanen has 10 shots on net and 10 blocked shots, and as long as he's on a goose egg in the points column, he's a buy-low candidate for fantasy.
