Roope Hintz News

Hintz exited Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers after taking a puck to the face and has not played since. The Stars received positive news, revealing no fracture, but Hintz will still be out of the lineup for roughly one week. Before being injured, the 28-year-old Hintz was producing at an elite rate, with 16 points (3G / 13A) during a six-game point streak. The Stars don't play until Friday, which Hintz has been ruled out for, but he could return to the lineup on Sunday against the Colorado Avalanche.

Hintz exited Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers after taking a puck to the face and has not played since. The Stars received positive news after he was evaluated, revealing no fracture, but he will still be out of the lineup for roughly one week. Before being injured, the 28-year-old Hintz was playing his best hockey of the season, with 16 points (3G / 13A) during a six-game point streak.

Hintz has missed the previous three games due to an undisclosed injury but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Hintz only has 27 points (19G / 8A) in 41 games this season but has been more productive lately, with 11 points (8G / 3A) in his last 14 contests.

Hintz exited Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs due to an undisclosed injury early in the first period after only 2:27 time-on-ice. The Stars, already without top-six forwards Tyler Seguin and Mason Marchment, can ill-afford to lose Hintz's production for an extended period of time.

Hintz did not play in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks but will re-enter the lineup on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. The 28-year-old Hintz, nearly a point-per-game player over the past three seasons, only has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 20 games this season, but has three in his last three (2G / 1A). Logan Stankoven (undisclosed) will exit the stars lineup, making room for Hintz to return.

Hintz has finally started to produce with some consistency this season but will not play on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old Hintz, nearly a point-per-game player over the past three seasons, only has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 20 games this season, but has three in his last three (2G / 1A). Colin Blackhwell will draw into the Stars' lineup in the interim.

Hintz has missed the last three games due to an upper-body injury but was a full participant in Saturday's optional morning skate and will be a game-time decision for Game 2. The 27-year-old will be a massive return to Dallas' top six if he can play on Saturday, adding two goals and six points in 11 games played in the playoffs before his injury.

Hintz missed the final two games of the Stars' series vs. the Avalanche and will miss Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Hintz is "really close to returning," so there's a chance he'll be available for Game 2 on Saturday.

Hintz missed the Stars' previous two playoff games due to an undisclosed injury but practiced on Monday and is considered day-to-day as the teams heads into the Western Conference final this week. The 27-year-old hopes to be back for Game 1 after putting up two goals, six points, 13 SOG and six PIMs in 11 games played before his injury.

Hintz left Game 4 after playing only eight shifts and 6:35 TOI due to an upper-body injury and will be out for Game 5 on Wednesday vs. Colorado. The 27-year-old centre will be replaced by Radek Faksa but will be a massive loss with his two goals, six points and six PIMs in 11 playoff games before his injury.

Hintz was a very late scratch from the Stars contest on Saturday due to an illness, but after being a full participant at the morning skate on Monday, will likely return to the lineup against the Detroit Red Wings. Hintz has played well this season, scoring 22 points (10G / 12A) in 24 games, but has not yet been able to build on his point-per-game pace from the 2022-23 campaign when he scored 75 points (37G / 38A) in 73 games. Assuming he returns to the lineup, he should slot back into his familiar place, centring Joe Pavelski and Jason Robertson.
