Hintz (undisclosed) had a shot, two hits and one block in 18:05 of ice time in Dallas' 3-2 shootout win over Colorado on Wednesday.
Hintz sustained the injury during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche, but he didn't end up missing a full game due to the injury. He has two goals and four points in seven outings this season. Provided Hintz remains healthy, he should continue to serve on the top line and first power-play unit.
