Hintz (lower body) will be out for an extended period of time, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz sustained the injury in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to Colorado. He still has to meet with another doctor to determine how to proceed with his recovery, but head coach Glen Gulutzan is hopeful that Hintz could return before the start of the playoffs. The 29-year-old Hintz has 15 goals, 44 points, 126 shots on net and 59 hits across 53 appearances this season.

Hintz (lower body) was injured in Friday's game versus the Avalanche and won't finish the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz got tangled with Nathan MacKinnon in the second period and ended up getting the worst of the collision. Hintz was just returning after a four-game absence due to an illness, but this injury has the potential to be much more concerning. The 29-year-old could be forced to miss time, beginning with Sunday's game versus the Blackhawks.

Hintz (illness) will return to action for Friday's game against Colorado, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz missed the last four games while on injured reserve due to an illness, but he was trending toward a return ahead of Friday's matchup and has officially been given the green light to return. He recorded points in six of his eight appearances leading up to the Olympic break, logging a goal, seven assists, 11 hits, five blocked shots and four PIM while averaging 17:16 of ice time across that span.

Hintz (illness) is slated to return versus the Avalanche on Friday, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz will need to be activated off injured reserve before he can suit up, which should be a clear indicator that the 29-year-old center is ready to get back. In his last eight outings, Hintz has racked up one goal and seven helpers, including four power-play points.

Hintz (illness) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz will miss his fourth straight game against Calgary on Tuesday. He is eligible to come off the IR list when he is healthy, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has compiled 15 goals, 44 points, 125 shots on net and 58 hits in 52 appearances this season.

Hintz (illness) will not suit up for Tuesday's road matchup against the Flames, according to Robert Tiffin of D Magazine.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz will miss his fourth straight game Tuesday as he continues to recover from his illness. The Finnish center will now have a few days to work his way back to getting in the lineup ahead of Friday's home divisional matchup versus Colorado. Wyatt Johnston and Matt Duchene will continue to operate as the Stars' top-two centers while Hintz is sidelined.

Hintz (illness) is slated to miss Monday's game against the Canucks, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz has resumed skating, but he'll be forced to miss a third consecutive matchup due to his illness. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game against the Flames, but Arttu Hyry will remain in the lineup against Vancouver.

Hintz (illness) won't play against Nashville on Saturday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz skated on his own Saturday, but he will miss his second straight game. He has compiled 15 goals, 44 points, 125 shots on net and 58 hits through 52 appearances this season. According to Robert Tiffin of D Magazine, Hintz should be able to travel with the team for the Stars' two-game road trip against Vancouver and Calgary on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

Hintz (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against Seattle, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz had a goal and four points across six outings with Team Finland during the 2026 Winter Games. He also has 15 goals and 44 points in 52 appearances with Dallas in 2025-26. Arttu Hyry was summoned from AHL Texas on Wednesday and is set to make his NHL season debut.

Hintz is questionable against the Kraken on Wednesday due to an illness, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hintz has generated points in 10 of his last 14 games, racking up three goals and nine assists, including four power-play points, in that span. With Radek Faksa (upper body) also questionable for Wednesday and Mikko Rantanen (lower body) sidelined, the Stars will almost certainly need to add some forward reinforcements prior to Wednesday's contest.
