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.

Stars' Roope Hintz: First game-winner this season
Rotowire
Hintz scored the game-winning goal Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Senators.
Hintz is on a modest four-game, four-point scoring streak (three goals, one assist; 10 shots). He grabbed a loose puck at the right side of the crease after a goalmouth scramble. It was his first game-winning goal of the season. Hintz has four goals and eight assists in 12 games. His shooting percentage is only 10.5, which is well below his career average of 16.5. Expect the goals to start to uptick.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Strikes on power play
Rotowire
Hintz scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Predators.
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 is up to 10 points (six on the power play) with 33 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 10 outings this season.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Scores in return
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Ducks.
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: Slated to play
Rotowire
Hintz (undisclosed) took line rushes during warmups and is expected to play Thursday versus the Ducks, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Hintz is slated to return to the lineup after missing five games due to the injury. He'll see top-six minutes, but it's possible the Stars manage his usage a bit after the absence. The 28-year-old should also be part of the Stars' power-play plans.

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.

Hintz is poised to miss his second straight game after being injured in Saturday's 3-2 win over Carolina.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Hurt in third period
Rotowire
Hintz sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period of Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes and is undergoing further evaluation, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.
Hintz was charged by Taylor Hall on the play, which ultimately led to the Stars' game-winning goal on the power play. The severity of Hintz's injury is not yet known, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday's game in Nashville. If the center can't play, the Stars will either need to get Matt Duchene (upper body) back or make a roster move to fill out their lineup.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Hintz scored an empty-net goal on four shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
One of Hintz's helpers came on the power play. The 28-year-old has played a leading role in the Stars' early burst of offense in 2025-26, racking up five points (two on the power play) over the first three games of the season. He's playing on the top line as usual -- in that role in 2024-25, he posted 28 goals and 67 points in 76 regular-season outings, which is on the lower end of his typical production.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Two helpers vs. Winnipeg
Rotowire
Hintz recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Jets.
Hintz didn't score in this season opener, but he participated in the build-up of the tallies scored by Mikko Rantanen and Jason Robertson, with the latter being a power-play goal. Hintz spent the offseason recovering from the fractured foot he suffered in the 2025 Western Conference Finals against Edmonton, but he looked completely healthy in this win over the Jets. He's coming off a 2024-25 campaign in which he notched 28 goals, 39 assists and 160 shots on goal across 76 regular-season games while also adding six goals and 12 points in 17 postseason contests.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Healthy ahead of training camp
Rotowire
Hintz (foot) has been able to train properly during the offseason and is completely healthy ahead of training camp in September, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports Friday.
Hintz suffered a fractured foot during the Western Conference Finals versus Edmonton in Game 2. While he came back to play in the final two games of the series, Hintz required rest for the bone to heal. Hintz had 28 goals, 39 assists and 160 shots on goal across 76 regular-season games and followed that up with six goals and 12 points in 17 postseason games. Hintz is expected to center the top line in Dallas, alongside Jason Robertson and Mikko Rantanen.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Had fractured foot
Rotowire
Hintz battled a fractured foot during the Western Conference Finals, Stars beat writer Robert Tiffin reported Saturday.
The slash that caused Hintz to miss Game 3 from Darnell Nurse fractured his foot, Hintz confirmed at the Stars' exit interviews. He was able to return for the final two games of the series, scoring a goal, but the 28-year-old didn't look 100 percent. He should be good to go for training camp in the fall.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Nabs goal in Game 5 loss
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5.
Hintz pulled the Stars to within 3-2 with a second-period power-play snipe, wiring a one-timer from between the circles past Stuart Skinner. He finished the postseason with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 17 games. Half of those points came in two games in the first round against Colorado. Hintz needs to be bumped up 2025-26 fantasy cheat sheets -- he and the uber-talented Mikko Rantanen will have plenty of time to dominate the score sheets.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Set to play in Game 4
Rotowire
Hintz (lower body) took warmups on the first line and is expected to play in Game 4 versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Hintz was officially a game-time call, but it looks like he is good to go after missing Game 3. The 28-year-old sustained the injury on a slash by Darnell Nurse in Game 2, but the Stars should get a boost from having their top-line center back in action. Evgenii Dadonov will check out of the lineup to accommodate Hintz's return.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Game-time call Tuesday
Rotowire
Hintz (lower body) will take the ice for warmups ahead of Game 4 against the Oilers on Tuesday before determining his availability, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Hintz's status won't be determined until the last minute, which was the same situation that played out ahead of Game 3 on Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old center was mired in a five-game goal drought, during which he recorded a mere seven shots to go with one helper.

Rotowire
Hintz (lower body) will not play in Sunday's Game 3 at Edmonton, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Hintz tried to give it a go, participating in warmups ahead of Sunday's contest, but he'll be held out of Game 3 with the injury he sustained after getting slashed in Game 2. With Hintz and his 11 points in 15 postseason games out of the lineup, Oskar Back will draw into the lineup and Wyatt Johnston will likely scoot into the top-six forward group for the Stars.
