That's not the only loss for the Stars from Sunday's game as their top defenceman Miro Heiskanen left the game after taking a puck to the face.
The incident occurred during the second period off a shot from Kraken's Tye Kartye that got Heiskanen in the grill before Jordan Eberle would take advantage scoring the Kraken's first of the game.
Heiskanen was a bloody mess needed to get some stitches but didn't return. The Kraken would go on to win this one 7-2 taking a 2-1 series lead, but the biggest concern for Stars fans is if Heiskanen will be able to go in game four because that would be a huge loss for the Stars.
