Hintz (foot) has been able to train properly during the offseason and is completely healthy ahead of training camp in September, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz suffered a fractured foot during the Western Conference Finals versus Edmonton in Game 2. While he came back to play in the final two games of the series, Hintz required rest for the bone to heal. Hintz had 28 goals, 39 assists and 160 shots on goal across 76 regular-season games and followed that up with six goals and 12 points in 17 postseason games. Hintz is expected to center the top line in Dallas, alongside Jason Robertson and Mikko Rantanen.

Hintz battled a fractured foot during the Western Conference Finals, Stars beat writer Robert Tiffin reported Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The slash that caused Hintz to miss Game 3 from Darnell Nurse fractured his foot, Hintz confirmed at the Stars' exit interviews. He was able to return for the final two games of the series, scoring a goal, but the 28-year-old didn't look 100 percent. He should be good to go for training camp in the fall.

Hintz scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz pulled the Stars to within 3-2 with a second-period power-play snipe, wiring a one-timer from between the circles past Stuart Skinner. He finished the postseason with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 17 games. Half of those points came in two games in Round One against Colorado. Hintz needs to be bumped up your 2025-26 cheatsheet -- he and the uber-talented fellow-Finn, Mikko Rantanen, will have plenty of time to dominate the score sheets.

Hintz (lower body) took warmups on the first line and is expected to play in Game 4 versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz was officially a game-time call, but it looks like he is good to go after missing Game 3. The 28-year-old sustained the injury on a slash by Darnell Nurse in Game 2, but the Stars should get a boost from having their top-line center back in action. Evgenii Dadonov will check out of the lineup to accommodate Hintz's return.

Hintz (lower body) will take the ice for warmups ahead of Game 4 against the Oilers on Tuesday before determining his availability, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Hintz's status won't be determined until the last minute, which was the same situation that played out ahead of Game 3 on Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old center was mired in a five-game goal drought, during which he recorded a mere seven shots to go with one helper.

Hintz (lower body) will not play in Sunday's Game 3 at Edmonton, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz tried to give it a go, participating in warmups ahead of Sunday's contest, but he'll be held out of Game 3 with the injury he sustained after getting slashed in Game 2. With Hintz and his 11 points in 15 postseason games out of the lineup, Oskar Back will draw into the lineup and Wyatt Johnston will likely scoot into the top-six forward group for the Stars.

Hintz (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Sunday afternoon's Game 3 against the Oilers, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars are taking the decision of whether or not Hintz will play in Game 3 right up to the start of Sunday's matinee after he was injured on a slash from Edmonton's Darnell Nurse in Game 2. The 28-year-old Hintz has been productive in his 15 postseason contests, scoring five goals while adding six assists.

Hintz (lower body) is awaiting test results to determine his availability for Sunday's Game 3 in Edmonton, per Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz was injured during Friday's 3-0 loss to the Oilers when Darnell Nurse slashed him in the third period. The 28-year-old Hintz needed to be helped off the ice after the incident. Hintz has five goals and 11 points across 15 playoff appearances this year. Wyatt Johnston might shift into the top six if Hintz is unavailable.

Hintz suffered an apparent lower leg or ankle injury in Friday's Game 2 versus the Oilers, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz was slashed near the top of his skate by Darnell Nurse in the third period, and the Dallas center needed help off the ice. The 28-year-old's status is in question for Sunday's Game 3 in Edmonton. If Hintz can't play, Wyatt Johnston would likely ascend to a top-six role while Oscar Back would draw back into the lineup on the fourth line.

Hintz logged a power-play assist and two hits in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Hintz snapped a three-game skid with the helper to set up Matt Duchene's go-ahead goal in the third period. The 28-year-old Hintz has accumulated 11 points (five on the power play), 33 shots on net, 12 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 14 playoff outings. He remains in a top-line role, and his budding chemistry with Mikko Rantanen will likely be a primary source of offense for the Stars during the Western Conference Finals.
