Roope Hintz, the Stars’ top-line center, suffered a concerning leg injury in the 3-0 loss to the Oilers on Friday.

A heated exchange between Darnell Nurse and Roope Hintz in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final sparked controversy after Nurse retaliated with a slash following a cross-check from Hintz, who subsequently left the game injured.

Scoring no goals in a critical playoff game will frustrate any NHL team, but the temperature will skyrocket even higher when you lose a star player as well. That was the case for Dallas on Friday night as Roope Hintz left the game in the third period after taking a nasty slash from Nurse in front of the Oilers’ net.
