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: Lights lamp twice in win
Rotowire
Hintz scored two goals, one on the power play, in Monday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.
He pocketed the Stars' first and last tallies of the night, both from nearly identical spots on the edge of the faceoff circle to the left of Charlie Lindgren. Hintz is up to 13 goals on the season, and seven of them have come over his last 12 appearances, including three power-play markers. While he's thriving as a sniper, the 28-year-old isn't supplying his usual well-rounded offenses, managing only six assists in 29 contests this season.

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.

Stars' Roope Hintz: On pace for another 30-goal year
Rotowire
Hintz scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.
It was a beauty goal. Hintz skated through the neutral zone with speed, blew past Erik Cernak, and wired the puck blocker side past Andrei Vasilevskiy on a breakaway. Hintz has three points, including two goals, in his last two games. He may have only 13 points in 19 games this season, but his eight goals put him on pace for his fourth consecutive 30-goal campaign.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Scores in win over San Jose
Rotowire
Hintz scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Hintz, who scored one of the Stars' two empty-netters in this game, has scored seven goals and tallied 12 points in his 18 appearances this season. However, he hasn't been very consistent on a game-to-game basis. Even though his role in the lineup will give the 28-year-old plenty of opportunities to produce, his current haul has been subpar compared to the numbers he's posted in recent years.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Scores in win over Boston
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
Hintz has found the back of the net in two of the Stars' last three games and is on his way to ending the slump affecting him over the last few weeks. He's up to 10 points (six goals, four assists) in 15 games this season, and although he should continue to have plenty of opportunities to keep producing as a top-six forward in one of the league's best offenses, more consistency on a game-to-game basis would undoubtedly boost his fantasy upside.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Spoils shutout and ends slump
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.
Hintz tallied with 1:22 left in the contest to prevent Connor Hellebuyck from earning a third straight shutout. The goal was Hintz's first since Oct. 24 -- he went four games without a point, including both contests in his native country of Finland last weekend against the Panthers. The 27-year-old is at five goals, nine points, 30 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-1 rating through 13 appearances in a somewhat modest start to 2024-25.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Scores empty-netter in 400th game
Rotowire
Hintz scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Bruins.
Hintz played in his 400th career game Thursday, and he capped it off with an empty-netter. The center has been steady in his usual top-line role so far, earning four goals, four assists, 18 shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating over eight contests. Hintz will continue to see time in all situations, and while he may not finish at a point-per-game pace, he's likely to be close to that rate of production.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
The only Dallas goal Hintz didn't have a hand in was Matt Duchene's game-winner midway through the third period. Hintz has reached the 30-goal plateau in three straight seasons, and he doesn't appear as though he'll have any trouble making it four straight in 2024-25, racking up three goals and seven points in the first six contests.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Nets tying goal
Rotowire
Hintz scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.
Hintz didn't feature in the scoring during back-to-back shutout wins over the weekend, but he was able to finish off a passing play late in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. The top-line center has three points, eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating through four contests this season. He continues to play a key role for the Stars, but the depth of the team's offense means they won't lean on him to contribute all the time.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Two points in Thursday's win
Rotowire
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.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Returns with two helpers
Rotowire
Hintz logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
Hintz set up the first two goals of Jason Robertson's hat trick. This was Hintz's return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he looked much like his usual self in 17:48 of ice time in a top-line role. The center is up to two goals, six helpers, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff appearances. Hintz should see significant ice time for the Stars moving forward, so he'll be a solid option in DFS formats.

Stars' Roope Hintz: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Hintz (upper body) did not take the ice for warmups and won't play in Saturday's Game 2 versus the Oilers, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Hintz's absence will reach a fourth game, but it's encouraging that he's progressed into the range of being a game-time decision. With Hintz still out, Tyler Seguin will center Jason Robertson and Evgenii Dadonov for this contest. Hintz's next chance to play is Monday's Game 3 in Edmonton.
