Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) is a game-time decision for Monday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against Edmonton. He's hoping to return to action after missing four games. Following a very quiet start to the postseason, Hintz had just started to heat up with five points in three games before he suffered an upper-body injury. The Finnish forward has totaled six points (two goals, four assists) in 11 total appearances in these playoffs. Hintz is among Dallas' most talented players and should play a big part in Monday's contest if he's ready to return.
Roope Hintz In Contention To Return To Action On Saturday
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) could be available again for the team in Saturday's Game 2 against Edmonton. Stars head coach Pete DeBoer said on Friday that Hintz is a possibility for the contest. The Finnish forward has been sidelined for three games with an upper-body injury. Hintz's return would give a big boost to Dallas, although he hasn't been quite at his best in the postseason. Through 11 appearances, Hintz has registered two goals and four assists.

Hintz missed Games 5 and 6 of the Stars' second-round series against the Colorado Avalanche with an undisclosed injury, but appears to be getting healthier and could return early in their next series. Hintz would be a big addition up the middle for Dallas, who would be able to slide their lineup around to give them an even bigger depth advantage than they already have. If he returns, Hintz would likely play on a line with Jason Robertson as he has most of the season, but nothing is set in stone.

The Finnish forward has had a tough time making a mark offensively, but five of his six points in the 2024 playoffs have come in the series against the Avalanche.
