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.
The Stars, who have only played one game this season (1-0-0) and have been off for five days, will welcome Hintz into the lineup for his season debut. Primarily centring one of the league's top lines with Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski, Hintz recorded a career-high 75 points (37G / 38A) last season. Hintz will retake his spot on the top line as Tyler Seguin will move down to a line with Mason Marchment and Matt Duchene.

Hintz was originally a game-time decision but with five days between games, the Stars coaching staff has opted to give him the extra rest instead of rushing him into the season opener. Hintz tallied 75 points last season (37G / 38A) while primarily centring Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski on one of the top lines in the NHL. Tyler Seguin is expected to slot into the first-line center role in Hintz's absence.
Hintz had 37 goals, 38 assists, 184 SOG, 30 PIMs and a +31 plus/minus through 73 games in 2022-23 but will be a game-time decision for Dallas' season opener vs. St. Louis due to a preseason upper-body injury. The 26-year-old is a key piece of the Stars' impressive offence but has missed 11 games due to injury in the previous two seasons.
Hintz practiced with the team for the first two days of training camp but hasn't been with the team recently due to an upper-body injury. He's been skating on his own and head coach Pete DeBoer is still optimistic that Hintz will be ready for Game 1. His availability for practice this week will be a good indication of if he'll play vs. the Blues or not.
