Dallas Stars player Roope Hintz will miss Game 1 of Western Conference Final opener Thursday night.
Hintz missed the last two games of the Stars' second-round series against Colorado after leaving in the first period of Game 4 with a lower-body injury on May 13.
Stars coach Pete DeBoer said during the morning skate Thursday that Hintz is still considered day-to-day. “He's getting closer,” DeBoer said."Skated yesterday, skated today. So, you know, hopeful for Game 2."After getting hurt in the Game 5 clincher in the first round against the Los Angeles Kings on May 1, Henrique missed the series opener against Vancouver, played 11 1/2 minutes in Game 2 and then didn't play the rest of that seven-game series.
Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch has said Henrique is close and they expect him to play early in the West final. Henrique, acquired from Anaheim in a midseason trade, has a goal and an assist in his six games this postseason.
