Already emerging as one of the league's brightest young players in only his first season with the Stars, defenseman Miro Heiskanen showed off his support for another future Dallas great before Friday's game against the Washington Capitals: First-year Mavericks point forward Luka Doncic.

Heiskanen, who was selected to represent the Stars at 2019 NHL All-Star Weekend in San Jose earlier this week, wore Doncic's No. 77 jersey while getting loose outside the team's dressing room prior to pregame warmups.
