Say it with me: Jason Robertson is rejoining the Dallas Stars’ starting lineup sooner rather than later. But as it turns out, his scheduled absence from training camp is having knock-on effects that – wait for it – just might end up helping the team.
So says Saad Yousuf, who’s been covering Stars training camp for The Athletic. He does have receipts, and Roope Hintz’s reunion with Denis Gurianov is one of them. Remember when those two were the hammer and tongs of the Texas Stars forward corps? That chemistry appears to have survived intact, and is now being helped along by new teammate and (at least temporary) linemate Mason Marchment:
The Hintz line looked great the first two days of camp as the team focused on specific concepts Pete DeBoer looked to instill in his early days as head coach.
