ST. LOUIS -- Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen scored the game's second goal, led the team in shots on goal, logged 22 minutes and was the only Star to finish a +3 in Saturday afternoon's 4-2 victory at Enterprise Center.
So, it's understandable that he didn't feel like a loser. But the Calder Trophy finalists were announced Saturday and the only Dallas Star rookie ever to play in an All-Star Game was not one of them.
It was no surprise that Vancouver's Elias Pettersson, who ran away with the rookie scoring title at 28 goals and 66 points, was a finalist.
