Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (face) could return to the lineup on Sunday to face the Colorado Avalanche. Hintz will not suit up on Friday but may not face an extended absence. He sustained this injury on Saturday during their loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to their game on Sunday. On Friday, fantasy managers should expect Matt Duchene to continue to play on the top forward line alongside Jason Robertson and Mikael Granlund. Before Saturday's contest, Hintz was riding a six-game point streak. During this stretch, he found the back of the net three times and added 13 helpers. Through 59 contests, the 28-year-old has tallied 52 points, 15 of which came on the power-play. When he returns to the lineup, he should be started in all formats and viewed as a top option in DFS.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (face) will be sidelined for at least one week. He sustained a facial injury on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers when a puck struck him in the second period. Hintz is once again sitting among Dallas' scoring leaders in 2024-25, boasting 25 goals and 52 points in 59 appearances. Wyatt Johnston, who has notched 60 points (24 goals, 36 assists) in 64 games, took over the first-line center duties in Sunday's matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. He looks set to fill the role for at least two more games.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) exited early during their loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday evening. Hintz took a deflected shot to the face. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. He was taken to the hospital for further testing as well. The team may opt to keep Hintz sidelined for their next contest which is on Sunday evening against the Vancouver Canucks even if the injury is not serious. Before departing, the 28-year-old tallied two blocked shots and did not get on the scoresheet. However, entering this contest, Hintz was riding an impressive six-game point streak. During this stretch, he tallied 16 points (three goals) with seven of the points coming on the power-play. If Hintz were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect either Matt Duchene or Wyatt Johnston to move up to the top forward line alongside Mikko Rantanen and Jason Robertson.
Roope Hintz Records Second Consecutive Four-Point Game
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz posted a second consecutive four-point game with one goal and three assists in Sunday's 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues. He notched his goal early in the second period during even-strength play and picked up all of his assists with the man advantage. The Finnish forward became only the second Stars/North Stars player in the past 40 years to record back-to-back four-point games, following Tyler Seguin in 2018-19. He has a chance to become the first one with three consecutive four-point efforts on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. Hintz has started to turn his season around, reaching 47 points (24 goals, 23 assists) in 56 games.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz tallied four helpers during their victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday evening. This was a career-high total.

In the second, Hintz tallied his second power-play helper, this time on the primary assist to set up Wyatt Johnson on his 18th goal of the campaign. Later in the third, Hintz would cap off his impressive evening with another primary assist on Logan Stankoven's second goal of the evening. This outing extended his current point streak to four games. Over his last five, Hintz has found the back of the net once and added seven helpers. He will look to stay hot on Sunday evening against the St. Louis Blues.

Wyatt Johnstone deputized for Hintz in the role. He will shift to the right wing on Tuesday, with Evgenii Dadonov dropping to the second line. Hintz is having a down year with the Stars this season but leads the team with 19 goals. He has amassed 27 points in total across 42 outings. However, the Finnish forward has upped his scoring pace in recent weeks, picking up six points (four goals, two assists) over his last eight appearances.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) will sit out Thursday's game against Montreal. He suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's clash against Toronto. Hintz has not enjoyed the 2024-25 season, as he has been limited to 27 points (19 goals, eight assists) in 42 games. Wyatt Johnston will take on first-line center duties on Thursday. Following a six-game point streak, Johnston has gone cold lately, adding to his points tally only twice in the past five games. However, the 21-year-old has had a solid campaign overall, recording 31 points (10 goals, 21 assists) in 43 outings. Justin Hryckowian will fill the open spot in the lineup. Hryckowian has been a point-per-game player in the AHL but hasn't yet opened his scoring account among the big boys. He will make his third NHL appearance on Thursday.
Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz took care of two goals in Monday's 3-1 victory over Washington. His power-play goal in the second period tied the game at one, and Hintz made the game safe with another goal at the 14:58 mark in the third. Hintz celebrated his first multi-goal outing of the season Monday night, although he has been busy in front of the net all season. He's tied with Matt Duchene for most goals on the team, having found the back of the net 13 times in 29 appearances. However, points-wise, Hintz is behind four teammates because he's recorded only six assists this term. Hintz has provided 35-plus helpers in three consecutive campaigns, so his playmaking has not been up to par in 2024-25.

Dallas' first-line center has amassed 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 20 outings this season. Colin Blackwell comes into the lineup to replace Hintz, but we will likely see somebody else fill in for him in the top six.

Hintz logged 17:48 of ice time in his comeback game, skating on the first line with Tyler Seguin and Jason Robertson.

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. He will presumedly jump right back to the top line and the first power-play unit if he's good to go on Saturday.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) practiced on Monday and is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Final on Thursday. 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.
Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game against Colorado on Friday. He continues to nurse an upper-body injury he suffered in Game 4 of the second-round series. The Stars hope to have Hintz back in action in the team's next game. Hintz, who posted a career-high 75 points (37 goals, 38 assists) in 73 regular-season games, has totaled only six points (two goals, four assists) in 11 playoff outings. Five of the points came in Game 2 and Game 3 against the Avalanche. Matt Duchene is centering Dallas' first line in Hintz's absence.

Hintz took only eight shifts and logged 6:35 of ice time in a big 5-1 win. He finished scoreless for the eighth time in 11 games this postseason. 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. Radek Faksa, who scored the decisive goal in Game 7 against Vegas in the opening round, might get a chance to re-enter the lineup if Hintz isn't available to play on Wednesday.

The Finnish forward had a really rough ride in February, but he's been back in form in recent games, registering three goals and three assists in his last four appearances.

Hintz has been his usual self this season, notching 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) in 24 games, a pace that sees him close to a point per game, which is where he usually resides.
