Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz has been ruled out of Friday's Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal series versus the Colorado Avalanche in Denver.
Hintz will miss his second consecutive contest after sustaining an upper-body injury late in the first period of Game 4 on Monday. Dallas went on to record a 5-1 win in that game; however, Colorado responded with a 5-3 victory on Wednesday to trim the Stars' lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
Dallas coach Peter DeBoer said he is hopeful Hintz can return for either Game 7 of this series, if necessary, or the first game of the conference finals.
