Stars’ Hintz to Miss Game 1 of Western Conference Final

Dallas Stars’ top center Roope Hintz will sit out Game 1 of the Western Conference final against the Edmonton Oilers due to an upper-body injury sustained while blocking a shot in Game 4 of the second round series against the Colorado Avalanche. Coach Pete DeBoer is hopeful Hintz will return for Game 2 on Saturday. Jake Oettinger will start in goal for Dallas, while Edmonton will field the same lineup that defeated the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7, with Corey Perry remaining a healthy scratch.
