Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz has been ruled out of Thursday's Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against the Edmonton Oilers with an upper-body injury.
Hintz will miss his third consecutive contest after getting hurt late in the first period of Game 4 of the semifinals against Colorado. He left after blocking a shot in the first period. Earlier in the game, he went down hard when he was cross-checked by Nathan MacKinnon.
Dallas coach Peter DeBoer said he is hopeful Hintz can return for Game 2 of the conference finals.
