Dallas Stars' Hintz Out, Oettinger Keeps Spirits High

0:00On April 20, Dallas stars forward, Roup Hince is out with a nagging lower body injury, missing at least two more games in their Western conference. First round series against the Minnesota Wild. The team already sits down one-nothing after dropping Game 1. Coach Glenn Galutson confirmed after Monday's skate that Hince won't suit up for Game 3 when the series shifts to Minnesota on Wednesday or likely. Game 4, there on Saturday. He hasn't hit the ice at all since tweaking the injury against Colorado back on March 6th. Stars goalie Jake Oedinger is keeping spirits high, reminding everyone they knocked out Colorado last year without stars like Miro High Scanan and Jason Robertson. The depth has to rise up now with one of their top guys sideline. Hince put up 44 points, including 15 goals in just 53 games this season. For his career, he's tallied 421 points in 521 regular season games and 69 more in 95.
