Hintz missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is set to play tonight in New York. Not only does it look like he'll play but it looks like Hintz will be on the top-line with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin on his wings. Hintz has 15 goals with nine assists (24 points) in 42 games this season.
Hintz was on the ice for Friday's practice and Saturday's morning skate but will miss his second straight games with an upper-body injury. With Hintz and Justin Dowling out, Joel Kiviranta was recalled from the AHL and will play in New Jersey.
Hintz left Monday's game with an upper-body after his first shift and did not return. Head coach Rick Bowness said that Hintz is day-to-day and will not play vs. the Maple Leafs.
While the Stars are in Calgary, Hintz was back skating in Dallas and could be back in the lineup next week. Right now the Stars don't expect him to join them on the trip but believe he could be ready when they return to Dallas next Tuesday. So far the Stars are 1-0-1 and have scored six goals in two games without Hintz.
Hintz missed Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury and was originally considered day-to-day but head coach Jim Montgomery announced that their No.2 centre will miss two weeks. Jason Dickinson skated as the Stars No.2 centre last night, so look for that to continue while Hintz is out. Joe Pavelski could always shift back to centre as well.
Hintz was not on the ice for the Stars morning skate and head coach Jim Montgomery doesn't expect to have him for at least two games. This is a huge blow for a Stars team that is rolling right now and Hintz is a huge part of that, scoring nine goals on 33 shots (27.3 SH%) with two assists in 16 games. Jason Dickinson will replace him on the second line with Jamie Benn and Joe Pavelski.
Hintz missed the morning skate before Game 7 because of a foot injury he suffered while blocking a shot late in Game 6. The Stars announced that he played through a broken foot in Game 7 but is expected to be ready for training camp for the 2019-20 season.
Hintz missed the morning skate but head coach Jim Montgomery said that Hintz will be available for Game 7 in St. Louis. Hintz will centre the second line with Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov on his wings and comes in with three goals and two assists in six games in the series.
Hintz has split the 2019 campaign between the AHL and NHL. During his time in Dallas, Hintz has just five points (2G / 3A) but is over a point-per-game with 22 points (9G / 13A) in 21 AHL games.
Hintz failed to record a point in his first five NHL games this season. Hintz filled-in for Alexander Radulov on the Stars top line last night, but didn’t do much with the opportunity. He heads to Texas, where he had 20 goals and 15 assists (35 points) in 70 games last year.
Hintz has 15 goals and 12 assists (27 points) in 55 games with Texas this season. It has been a solid rookie season for the Finnish winger, who was picked in the second-round (No.49 overall) in 2015.
