Hintz Sidelined at Least 2 More for Stars

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.
