Roope Hintz Misses Tuesday's Game
2 years agoDallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) hasn't traveled to New York for Tuesday's clash with the Islanders. He suffered an upper-body injury at the weekend against Florida and it's currently unknown when Hintz will be ready to return to the lineup. Dallas head coach Pete DeBoer has said that he believes that Hintz isn't dealing with a long-term issue. The Finnish forward has tallied 44 points in 40 games this season, so it's a massive piece missing for the team. Tyler Seguin is set to fill first-line center duties until Hintz is ready to return, while his absence has given Denis Gurianov an opportunity to rejoin the lineup for the first time since Dec. 17.
