Roope Hintz sits out at least two more games for the Dallas Stars in their Western Conference first-round series, dealing a tough blow to a lineup already reeling from a Game 1 rout. The Stars' top-line center logged heavy minutes all season, and his absence forces coach Pete DeBoer to shuffle lines with guys like Logan Stankoven stepping up big. Dallas front office whispers suggest they're eyeing internal options, but the stakes skyrocket as they chase a bounce-back win to even the series.
The Carolina Hurricanes are 1st in the Metropolitan Division with a 53-22-7 record (113 points). Key injuries include Pyotr Kochetkov (Hip, IR), totaling $2.00M on injured reserve.
