Hintz scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Hintz scored at 2:05 of the first period and set up a Jason Robertson goal just 19 seconds later. The 27-year-old Hintz remains the Stars' top-line center to begin 2024-25, and while he won't have Joe Pavelski on his line anymore, he clicked with Logan Stankoven in the season opener. Wyatt Johnston and Tyler Seguin are also options for the top line. Hintz will look to get back over the 70-point mark after he was limited to 30 goals and 35 assists in 80 regular-season contests last year.
