Latest News about Roope Hintz
Hintz was cleared to play for the Dallas Stars against the Colorado Avalanche after missing postgame media availability the previous night for an undisclosed reason. He had recorded two goals and two assists through his first six appearances of the 2026–27 regular season.
Hintz was briefly helped off the ice in the Stars' 2026–27 season opener against the St. Louis Blues after a knee-on-knee hit from defenseman Brandon Carlo, which drew a major penalty and a game misconduct. He returned to the game, and the injury was reported as less serious than it first appeared.
Hintz suffered a lower-body injury in a loss to the Colorado Avalanche and went on to miss the rest of the 2025–26 season, including the Stars' playoff run. The hamstring injury sidelined him for 26 straight games.
