Bad things happen in hockey sometimes, and it's nobody's fault. That sure looks like what happened in the Stone and Heiskanen incident, says Ken Campbell.
Stone logged two assists, four shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
In the third period of a tight contest, Stone was tripped by Stars forward Roope Hintz, causing him to lose balance. As he fell to the ice, he took out Heiskanen’s leg. The blue liner immediately grabbed his left knee and was in visible pain as he headed towards the tunnel with the help of his teammates.
