Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz has been ruled out for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals against the Edmonton Oilers due to an injury sustained in Game 2, where he left the ice after a slash from Darnell Nurse. Despite participating in warmups prior to Game 3, Hintz did not join the line rushes, and his status remained uncertain until shortly before the game. Hintz has contributed significantly to the Stars’ playoff run with five goals and 11 points in 15 games, ranking fourth in regular season scoring with 28 goals this year.
