Hintz Out for Games 1 and 2 as Stars Head Into Western Conference First Round
The Dallas Stars are heading into the playoffs without one of their key forwards. Hintz will miss Games 1 and 2 of the Stars' Western Conference first round matchup, according to the official NHL status report.
Stars Prepare for First Round Without Hintz
Dallas is gearing up for their playoff run, but they'll have to do it without Hintz for at least the first two games. The absence of the forward means the Stars will need to lean on their remaining lineup to get off to a strong start in the opening round.
