Roope Hintz Aiming To Gain Momentum After Two-Point Performance
The Dallas Stars have made it a habit of bouncing back from in emphatic ways after previously dropping games. Dallas previously came back in their first round matchup with the Avalanche to win Game 7 after losing in a lopsided defeat in Game 6. The Stars had a deflating shutout loss in Game 2 of their current series with the Jets, and once again rebounded in Game 3. Besides receiving some assistance from Mikko Rantanen, the Stars were also gifted with production from Roope Hintz. The Finnish forward has had a quiet start to the series before breaking out on Sunday with a two-point performance. HIP HIP ROOPE HINTZ WITH THE FIRST GOAL OF GAME 3 ‼️ — B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) May 11, 2025 Roope Hintz has had a rollercoaster performance thus far in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Through his first nine games, Hintz has notched eight points. While these numbers are very impressive, the points and goals have come in bunches. Hintz kept up with his trend on Sunday when he notched another two points en route to the Stars's victory. Hintz got the scoring started for Dallas has he deflected Mikko Rantanen's shot in the first period. Hintz repay Rantanen later on when he would dish the puck to the fellow countryman in the high slot to extend the Dallas lead. Roope Hintz is now tied with Joe Pavelski for career playoff goals (26) in a @DallasStars uniform — ranking eighth on the franchise's all-time list.#TexasHockey — Victory+ (@victoryplustv) May 11, 2025 While the Stars are currently enjoying the volcanic level hot streak of Mikko Rantanen, they will need Hintz to not only score, but score consistently. Hintz will aim to get points in a consecutive game for only the second times this postseason, as the Stars will be back in action on Tuesday night. Puck drop is set for 7pm CDT, and can be viewed on ESPN. Add us to your Google News favorites and never miss a story.

Top Five Mikko Rantanen Moments From First Round
Mikko Rantanen had a legendary performance in Game 7 to propel the Dallas Stars to the second round, posting four points and a hat trick in the third period of a 4-2 comeback win over the Colorado Avalanche. The former Avs superstar took revenge on his former team in the most ruthless way, posting 10 points in the final three games of the series. Let's take a look back at his top five moments from the first round: 5. A beautiful spin-o-rama pass from Rantanen found Roope Hintz on the power play in Game 6 to get Dallas on the board and set up a comeback effort for the Stars. This was a thing of beauty, and could have been a lot higher if Dallas had managed to hang on and win the game. His go-ahead goal to make it 4-3 did not even make the list, mostly because of the blown lead in the eventual 7-4 loss, but this assist was too good not to crack the top-5. Roope goal off the RIDICULOUS Moose assist 🍎Game on.#TexasHockey — Victory+ (@victoryplustv) May 2, 2025 4. While Hintz might have done a lot of the work on this entry, Rantanen was able to finish off a blazing fast 2-on-1 against Mackenzie Blackwood to increase the Stars lead to 3-0 in Game 5. It ended up being the game-winner, as Colorado actually closed the gap to 3-2 in the second period before Dallas pulled away again. THE MOOSE IS LOOSE 🫎Mikko Rantanen scores his first playoff goal in a @DallasStars uniform ... against his former club. — Victory+ (@victoryplustv) April 29, 2025 3. Rantanen muscled a puck out of his own zone to Mason Marchment, who fended off Devon Toews and sent the puck to Tyler Seguin for the overtime winner in Game 3 to give Dallas a 2-1 series lead. Colorado might have sealed this series up early if Dallas had not squeaked by in overtime in Games 2 and 3. THE STARS WIN AGAIN IN OVERTIME!! 🤩 Tyler Seguin scores the @Energizer overtime winner, and the @DallasStars have a 2-1 series lead! #StanleyCup — NHL (@NHL) April 24, 2025 2. Rantanen's empty net goal to seal the hat trick might seem like the obvious number one choice, but in terms of importance, it really only comes in as the runner-up. There were only two seconds left on the clock, and Dallas was set to win either way. That being said, finishing the night off with the hat trick was the perfect ending to a story that could not have been written more perfectly.

Rantanen's individual effort to cut through the Avs defense and wrap the puck around for the tying goal, getting the puck to the front of the net even after getting tripped up by Blackwood's pad, has to be the top moment. If it weren't for his individual effort to score the two goals to tie the game up, Colorado very well could have gone on to win the series. RANTANEN DOES IT ALL BY HIMSELF AND WE HAVE A TIE GAME 😱 — B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) May 4, 2025 A memorable series and a history making performance by Rantanen will go down in Stars lore as one of the most unbelievable memories in franchise history. And if the team wins the Stanley Cup, it will be solely due to this performance - a single-handed effort bring the team back from the dead in a Game 7 that would have ended their playoff run far too early.

Stars Playoff Injury Report: Back, Heiskanen
There is much sleight of hand and trickery regarding injuries at playoff time. One second, someone is playing, the next they are down the tunnel never to return to the game. The Dallas Stars have a few injuries hanging around the team heading into Game 4 of the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They have also had to deal with the pomp and circumstance surrounding the return of Colorado Avalanche captain, Gabriel Landeskog. Bookmark The Hockey News Dallas Stars team site to never miss the latest news, game day stories, and information on the players. For starters, there is no update on Jason Robertson. He didn't make the trip to Denver for Games 3 & 4, so more won't be known about his condition until the Stars arrive back at home. Underrated Stars Defender Deserves More Love It takes a team to win. Mikko Rantanen's Cheeky Welcome For Gabriel Landeskog Ex-Stars Defender's Great Playoff Debut With New Team Stars Forward May Testify For 2018 World Juniors Case New Stars Superstar Is X-Factor For Playoffs Heiskanen Could Play Factor In First Round After Practice Appearance Stars vs. Avalanche 2025 Playoff Schedule It's the second most wonderful time of the year, after the trade deadline. Oscar Back did not participate in practice on Friday. The reason given was that it was 'precautionary.' Later on Friday, another report said that Back had suffered an oblique injury in Game 3. This report also indicated that he had to 'freeze it' just to come back and finish the game. Back finished the game with 9:13 of time on ice after recording 11:04 and 14:09 in Games 1 and 2, respectively. More on Oskar Bäck's injury:Pete DeBoer just told @TheHardline3to7 that Bäck suffered an oblique injury in Game 3 and had to "freeze it" just so he could come back and play in the game.🥶😳#TexasHockey | @DLLS_Stars — Owen Newkirk (@OwenNewkirk) April 25, 2025 Pete DeBoer also spoke about Miro Heiskanen. During Friday's practice, Heiskanen took part in some powerplay drills. He has been skating for a while now, but won't be jumping into a game immediately. DeBoer said that Heiskanen hasn't taken any planned contact yet, but is close to being a full participant in practices. Once he reaches that step, it's reasonable to suggest that he could jump into the lineup shortly after crossing that benchmark. The Stars will play the Avalanche on Saturday, April 26th at 8:30 PM Central Time. It will be a golden opportunity to put the Avalanche against the ropes before heading to home ice.
