Miro Heiskanen's absence is becoming a major concern for the Dallas Stars as they approach the postseason.

How has his absence impacted the team's defense and goaltending? Can Thomas Harley step up as a true No. 1 defenseman in his place?

In a tragic incident that shook the world of ice hockey, former NHL player Adam Johnson lost his life due to a fatal neck injury inflicted during a game. On Tuesday, authorities in England arrested a man on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with Johnson's untimely death.    Adam Johnson, 29, was playing for the Nottingham Panthers in a Champions Cup game against the Sheffield Steelers on October 28 when tragedy struck. The fatal injury occurred when the blade of a skate cut Johnson's neck, leading to his immediate treatment on the ice and subsequent transportation to a nearby hospital. Sadly, he was pronounced dead.    The South Yorkshire Police did not disclose the suspect's identity or age, but he is currently in police custody.    This heart-wrenching incident has prompted calls for enhanced safety measures in ice hockey. Johnson's death has sparked discussions regarding the mandatory use of neck guards, with the English Ice Hockey Association announcing plans to implement rules regarding neck protection, set to take effect in 2024.    The NHL and NHL Players Association have also engaged in discussions surrounding player safety and the use of protective equipment. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stated, "Whether it's something that's mandated directly or on a phased-in basis, that's something we'll discuss with the players' association."    The main criminal charge in this case is involuntary manslaughter, which involves unintentionally causing the death of another person due to recklessness, negligence, or an unlawful act. Unlike voluntary manslaughter, which involves intentional killing without prior intent, involuntary manslaughter deals with unintended deaths resulting from a failure to exercise due care.    In assessing the situation, it is crucial to consider whether Matt Petgrave, the player responsible for the skate blade incident, intended the act but not the outcome. While Petgrave did not have any intention to kill Johnson, his actions could be deemed reckless or negligent.    Petgrave's potential defense may include arguing that the incident was an accident, claiming that he did not mean to raise his leg intentionally, but was rather affected by contact with an opposing player, causing him to lose balance and inadvertently raise his leg.    However, experts suggest that Petgrave raising his leg intentionally may be the more plausible explanation based on the laws of physics and the nature of the act.    It's important to note that criminal charges related to incidents on the playing field are rare, typically reserved for cases where a player clearly intended to harm another player. In this case, while Petgrave's actions were negligent, the unique nature of the incident may present challenges for prosecutors in securing a conviction.    The arrest in connection with Adam Johnson's tragic death serves as a stark reminder of the importance of player safety in sports, sparking discussions and potential changes in protective equipment regulations to prevent such devastating incidents in the future.
