EDMONTON — Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz missed Game 3 of the Western Conference final against the Edmonton Oilers with a lower-body injury.

The team’s No. 1 centre was on the ice for warm-ups Sunday afternoon at Rogers Place, but didn’t take part in line rushes.

Hintz received a slash to his left leg from Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse early in the third period of Edmonton’s 3-0 shutout victory Friday that evened the best-of-seven series 1-1.

The Finn had to be helped to the locker room and didn’t return.

Hintz, who was replaced by Oskar Back on the Star’ top line between Mikael Granlund and Mikko Rantanen on Sunday, has five goals and six assists for 11 points across 15 playoff games this spring.
