Hintz's status for Saturday's game is up in the air due to a non-COVID illness. Hintz was not on the ice for the morning skate and Joel Kiviranta took reps on the top line in his absence.

Hintz sat out of the second half of the Stars' back-to-back on Tuesday but could play Thursday in Detroit. Hintz has sat out of most of the back-to-backs this season so there's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup tonight. Hintz is on an absolute heater right now, scoring 10 goals with 17 assists (27 points) in his last 19 games.

Hintz continues to battle through a lower-body injury and is considered a game-time decision for Monday's game vs. the Red Wings. Hintz enters Monday's game on a five-game point streak, scoring two goals with nine assists (11 points) over that span.

Hintz, as always will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game in Nashville. Hintz has suited up in two in a row and four of the last five games, so it seems likely that he'll play on Thursday.

As has become customary during the 2021 season, Hintz will be a game-time decision for tonight's game vs. the Panthers. Hintz has played more times than he hasn't so there's a good chance he will play through the lingering issue and look to continue to build on the point-per-game season he has going.

Hintz has seemingly been a game-time decision for two months. He's missed six of the last 12 games as he continues to battle a lingering lower-body injury. Monitor his status when the Stars hit the ice for warmups.
