Dallas forward Roope Hintz has been ruled out for Game 3 of the Stars' Western Conference finals series against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.

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

Now, as the series heads to Edmonton, it does so with uncertainty and animosity. As unknown as Hintz’s status may be, DeBoer remained certain about one thing — that if Oilers center Connor McDavid were the player injured, the officials would have responded differently.
