Miro Heiskanen missed time earlier this season due to a concussion, but watching him play over the past two weeks, you’d never be able to tell.
Since returning, Heiskanen has been outstanding for HIFK in the Liiga, FInland’s top professional league, picking up points and logging tons of ice time. He has five points in five games, and is averaging 23:21 of TOI per game, the most among players on his team.
Video highlights of a two-assist game that he had over the weekend can be found here.
