Mar 4, 2025; Dallas, Texas, USA; Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (24) celebrates after he scores a power play goal against the New Jersey Devils during the second period at the American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz will be sidelined for a week with a facial injury but avoided a fracture.
General manager Jim Nill said Tuesday that Hintz has to keep his heart rate down for 5-7 days to avoid pressure or swelling.
Hintz, 28, was struck in the face by a puck midway through the second period in Saturday's 5-4 loss at Edmonton. He did not return.
Hintz is tied for second on the Stars in goals (25) and is fourth in points (52) through 59 games this season.
He has 362 points (172 goals, 190 assists) in 451 career games in seven NHL seasons. Dallas drafted him in the second round in 2015.
