Miro Heiskanen has announced that he is fully recovered from the knee surgery he underwent in February, ready to rejoin the Dallas Stars for the upcoming season. Heiskanen, attending Finland’s national team orientation camp for the 2026 Winter Olympics, expressed confidence in his abilities, stating, "My knee can take all the practice and feels fine." His return is timely as he aims to contribute to Finland's Olympic title defense.

Heiskanen's past experience includes representing Finland at the 2018 Winter Olympics and various IIHF Championships, where he contributed significantly. Notably, the Dallas Stars defenseman is among six players included in Finland's preliminary Olympic roster, alongside teammates Esa Lindell and Mikko Rantanen. As Finland prepares for the Olympics, Heiskanen emphasizes a focused approach, stating, "We take one game at a time, focusing on the journey rather than the pressure of repeating our gold medal success."
