The Stars have a mobile and underrated defence (not just Heiskanen - Klingberg and Lindell are really good too) and decent depth up front (outside the big three they have Gurianov, Pavelski, Hintz, Faksa).
But yeah, they do seem to be getting by with smoke a mirrors. Of the four remaining teams they have the worst GF/GP (3.0) and by far the worst GA/GP (3.28).
