Hintz (lower-body) took part in warm-ups but left after a few minutes and will be out for Game 3 in Edmonton on Sunday. The 28-year-old Finnish forward will be replaced by Oskar Back on Dallas' top line and is hopeful to return for Game 4 on Tuesday.
Hintz (lower-body) is a game-time decision for Game 3 on Sunday vs. Edmonton.
Hintz left Game 2 with a lower-body injury after taking a slash from Darnell Nurse, but was seen walking into the arena without a walking boot and is still a game-time decision. The 28-year-old center has five goals and 11 points in 15 games so far in the playoffs.
Hintz (lower-body) is questionable to play in Game 3.
Hintz left during Game 2 after getting slashed by Darnell Nurse and did not return. There were no indications whether or not Hintz would be available for Game 3, so consider him a game-time decision.
