Hintz (leg) will be in the lineup against Florida on Saturday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Hintz needed help off the ice with 1:31 left in the third period of Thursday's 5-2 loss to Minnesota after being hit in the leg by a one-timer from teammate Miro Heiskanen. However, the 29-year-old Hintz participated in the morning skate, and he is fine to play. While occupying a top-six role this season, he has collected nine goals, 26 points, 67 shots on net and 24 hits in 27 games.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Strikes for power-play goal
Rotowire
Hintz scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Hintz had matched his season-worst goal drought at five games entering Tuesday, but he broke it with a second-period tally. The center still had five helpers during that span, so he's been able to remain productive as a playmaker. On the year, he's up to nine goals, 26 points (13 on the power play), 67 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-12 rating over 26 appearances.
Hintz logged two power-play assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Senators.
Hintz assisted on both of Wyatt Johnston's third-period tallies to help his teammate secure a hat trick. While Hintz saw just 12:22 of ice time in this game, the lopsided score likely played a part in his reduced usage. The Finn is on a heater with four goals and two helpers over his last five outings. For the season, he's at eight goals, 14 assists, 12 power-play points, 60 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-7 rating over 21 appearances.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Nets equalizer Saturday
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.
Hintz tied the game with 3:07 left in regulation. This ended a four-game goal drought for the center, who had gone two contests without a point entering Saturday. The 29-year-old is up to five goals, 12 helpers, 49 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating through 17 appearances. With a spot alongside the red-hot Jason Robertson, Hintz should continue to offer plenty of scoring upside in a top-six role.
Hintz logged three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
Hintz had a hand in each of Jason Robertson's three goals. The 28-year-old Hintz has three goals and five helpers during his current six-game point streak. For the season, the center is up to four goals, 12 helpers, 43 shots, 13 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 14 outings. He should continue to pile up points as the Stars' offense gets more comfortable following some quiet games in late October.

Hintz has scored in back-to-back games since returning from an undisclosed injury. It's good to see him hit the ground running, and it looks like he'll settle in on the second line for now, as the Stars appear to like Wyatt Johnston with Mikko Rantanen on the top line.

Hintz returned from a five-game absence due to an undisclosed injury and logged 18:15 of ice time. That's roughly in line with his usual workload, especially with how the Stars often spread out the ice time. The center is up to two goals, seven helpers, 31 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over nine outings this season. As long as he stays healthy, he should continue to be a reliable source of offense.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Deemed game-time decision
Rotowire
Hintz (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Anaheim, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.
Hintz has missed the last five games due to an undisclosed injury, but he'll be evaluated in the hours leading up to Thursday's puck drop and could be cleared to return to action. Even if he isn't given the green light Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him suit up soon. Over eight appearances prior to his absence, he logged a goal, seven assists, five blocked shots, four hits and two PIM while averaging 19:01 of ice time.
