EDMONTON -- Dallas forward Roope Hintz has been ruled out for Game 3 of the Stars' Western Conference finals series against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.
Hintz was a game-time decision for Dallas after leaving the third period of Game 2 on Friday with an injury. The center took a slash from Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse less than four minutes into that final frame and was helped off the ice without appearing to put weight on his left leg.
Stars' coach Pete DeBoer said on Saturday they were awaiting test results on Hintz before determining his status for Game 3.
