Stars forward Roope Hintz was wearing a walking boot on his left foot before the team departed Dallas Love Field airport for St. Louis on Monday afternoon, likely a precautionary measure after the 22-year-old breakout center blocked a shot during the Stars' 4-1 loss in Game 6 on Sunday afternoon.
Hintz blocked a Brayden Schenn shot with his left foot 6:27 into the first period on Sunday, but finished the period. He missed the first 7:29 of the second period but received 15 more shifts in the second and third period.
Hintz has been one of the Stars' best players in the playoffs, with five goals and three assists in 12 games.
