Hintz logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Hintz ended a three-game point drought when he helped out on Thomas Harley's third-period tally. The 28-year-old Hintz has 36 points, 116 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 51 appearances. He was goal-heavy earlier in the year and is still a bit so now with 22 tallies, but his production is sustainable in a general sense considering Hintz's scoring pace is down from last season (65 points in 80 regular-season contests).

Stars' Roope Hintz: Another three-point performance
Rotowire
Hintz recorded two goals, including one shorthanded, and an assist in Friday's 5-3 win over the Canucks. He also recorded two shots, three hits and a plus-3 rating.
Hintz posted three points in back-to-back games, as he notched three assists in the 4-3 win over the Golden Knights on Tuesday, and he's extended his point streak to four contests. Hintz is having a subpar season in 2024-25, generating 35 points through 47 contests (22 goals, 13 assists), but could reach the 60-point plateau for a second straight season if he remains hot offensively.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Distributes three helpers
Rotowire
Hintz notched three assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Hintz had the primary helper on each of Wyatt Johnston's three goals in the comeback win. This was Hintz's first multi-point effort since Jan. 2 versus the Senators. He's earned five points over four contests since returning from an upper-body injury. The Finnish center is at 20 goals, 12 helpers, 107 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 46 games. One of his assists came while shorthanded, his first point on the penalty kill this season.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Scores power-play goal Friday
Rotowire
Hintz scored a power-play goal in Friday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Hintz found the back of the net in the first period shortly after Jack Eichel opened the scoring for the Golden Knights. The 28-year-old Hintz has 20 goals this season, putting him in a good spot to reach the 30-goal plateau for the fourth consecutive campaign. However, he's been faltering in the playmaking department, notching only eight assists thus far. He's had at least 30 helpers in three straight seasons previously.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Returning Tuesday
Rotowire
Hintz (upper body) will be back in the lineup against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.
Hintz returns following a three-game absence due to his upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old center had recorded eight goals and two helpers in his last 14 outings, including a pair of power-play tallies. Look for Hintz to get back onto the first line as well as seeing minutes with one of the two power-play units against Carolina.

Rotowire
Hintz (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit, Brien Rea of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.

Rotowire
Hintz (upper body) won't play against Colorado on Saturday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Hintz (upper body) will not be in the lineup Thursday against the Canadiens, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Hintz was injured in the opening period against Toronto on Tuesday and did not return. Hintz has struggled offensively this season with 27 points in 42 games -- albeit with 19 goals -- after three straight seasons with at least 65 points. The Stars recalled Justin Hryckowian and Matej Blumel from AHL Texas ahead of Thursday's game, and one of them will enter the lineup in place of Hintz.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Hintz (upper body) is questionable to finish Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs after suffering an injury in the first period.
Hintz logged just four shifts before the injury. The 28-year-old's status is up in the air -- it's encouraging he wasn't ruled out completely. If he doesn't return, he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Canadiens.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Garners helper in loss
Rotowire
Hintz notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Hintz set up Jason Robertson for the opening goal just 4:31 into the game. Playmaking has been hard to come by for Hintz this year -- since the start of December, he has 10 goals and three assists over 20 outings. Overall, the center is at 19 goals, eight helpers, 98 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 41 appearances in his usual top-line role. He's slightly off the pace for a 40-goal season but could get there if he has a hot stretch or two in the second half.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Pots goal Thursday
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
Hintz has four goals and an assist over his last five games after coming up empty in the first two contests after the holiday break. The 28-year-old center's tally Thursday was the game-winner, as the Stars gave little space for the Flyers to operate. Hintz has 19 goals, seven assists, 94 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 39 appearances. He's on pace for a career-high in goals, but the lack of playmaking has hurt his overall numbers, though that could change if Jason Robertson has a strong second half.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Cy Young season continues
Rotowire
Hintz scored twice Thursday in a 4-2 win over Ottawa.
The first came on the power play, while the second came at even strength. Hintz now has 18 snipes on the season to lead the Stars. He's on a Cy Young-style season with 18 goals but just six assists in 36 games. Hintz has always been more of pure sniper than a point producer, but his assist totals are remarkably low so far. Fantasy managers expected a lot more from the center this season than a low 50-point pace, especially after putting 72, 75 and 65 points in his last three seasons. The good news is that Hintz is on pace for a fourth straight 30-plus goal season and may even hit a new career mark if he can keep up this pace.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
Hintz opened the scoring midway through the second period, though the Stars' lead lasted all of 31 seconds before Jason Zucker tied the game. The 28-year-old Hintz closed out December with five goals over his last seven games. The center is up to 16 tallies, 22 points, 87 shots on net, 24 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 35 outings this season. Jason Robertson has been playing better of late, and Hintz's offense is likely to follow his linemate's performance.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Tallies in Monday's win
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 win over Utah.
Hintz has been warm lately with five goals and an assist over his last seven outings. The 28-year-old is up to 15 tallies in 32 contests overall, though he's added just six assists. Still, there's not a lot to complain about with a 30-goal center. Hintz also has 77 shots on net, 23 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating this season.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Deposits goal in loss
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.
Hintz is getting into a groove with four goals and an assist over his last six contests. He's been fine on offense this year, but not outstanding due to the struggles of Jason Robertson and the rotating cast of right wings on the Stars' top line. Hintz has 14 goals, 20 points, 76 shots on net, 23 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 31 appearances.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Nets game-winner Sunday
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Flames.
Hintz has scored in five of his last nine outings, though he had been held off the scoresheet in his last three games. His tally in the third period Sunday stood as the game-winner, his second such goal of 2024-25. He's at 11 goals, five assists, 61 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 26 contests overall. The Stars' top line hasn't been in top form, but all of Hintz, Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston are showing signs of turning things around heading into the middle section of the campaign.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Hintz scored an empty-net goal on five shots, logged two hits, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Jets.
Hintz secured the win for the Stars with less than eight seconds left. He's warmed up now with four goals and an assist over his last five appearances, and he's showing no lingering concern after he missed a game Wednesday versus the Blackhawks due to an undisclosed injury. The center has 10 goals, 15 points, 53 shots on net, 15 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 22 appearances. Hintz is shooting 20 percent in 2024-25, but that's not egregiously high compared to previous seasons, so he should be able to stay productive even though he's expected to be a little less efficient the rest of the way.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Nets power-play goal
Rotowire
Hintz scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Hintz's tally late in the second period held as the game-winner as the Stars nursed a lead in the final frame. He returned from a one-game absence due to an undisclosed injury and logged 18:52 of ice time. The 28-year-old has three goals and an assist over his last four appearances, though it still feels like he could find a little more offense. Overall, Hintz has nine tallies, 14 points, 48 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 21 appearances in a top-line role, with just three of those points coming on the power play.
