Roope Hintz, the Stars’ top-line center, suffered a concerning leg injury in the 3-0 loss to the Oilers on Friday.

In the world of heavy knee and shin pads, a slash normally doesn’t do enough damage to derail an NHL player; but the slash delivered by Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse in the third period to the lower left leg of Stars center Roope Hintz appeared to do the job of a mob hit. “We didn’t like it,” Stars center Jamie Benn said.

Stuart Skinner and the Edmonton Oilers shut out the Dallas Stars 3-0 in Game 2 to earn a split in the first two games of the NHL Western Conference finals. For Skinner, the shutout was his third in five games since he was reinserted into the lineup following an injury to Calvin Pickard.

The Dallas Stars aren’t getting shut out on the power play in the Western Conference final against Edmonton this time.
