Stars Defenseman Miro Heiskanen has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and will be out indefinitely.
He has been placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to March 2.— Dallas Stars (@DallasStars) March 10, 2022
Mononucleosis is an illness that commonly affects teenagers and young adults, but can affect children as well. Viruses, most commonly Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and certain infections cause the illness. Mono is sometimes called «the kissing disease» because it spreads easily through bodily fluids like saliva.
For most people, mono isn't serious, and it improves without treatment. Still, extreme fatigue, body aches and other symptoms can interfere with school, work and daily life. With mono, you might feel sick for about a month.

This is a shame as Heiskanen was having a very good season for the Stars with 29 points in 52 games. The Stars currently hold the second wildcard spot in the West, so this could be a huge hit for the team fighting to stay in the playoff race!
