Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz has been ruled out of Friday's Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal series versus the Colorado Avalanche in Denver.
Hintz will miss his second consecutive contest after sustaining an upper-body injury late in the first period of Game 4 on Monday. Dallas went on to record a 5-1 win in that game. He left after blocking a shot in the first period. Earlier in the game, he went down hard when he was cross-checked by Nathan MacKinnon.
Colorado took a 5-3 victory on Wednesday to trim the Stars' lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.
Dallas coach Peter DeBoer said he is hopeful Hintz can return for either Game 7 of this series, if necessary, or the first game of the conference finals.
Hintz, who is considered day-to-day with the injury, has collected six points (two goals, four assists) in 11 games during the postseason. The 27-year-old had 65 points (30 goals, 35 assists) in 80 games during the regular season.
Colorado will be without center Yakov Trenin, who plays a big role on the penalty kill, because of an upper-body injury he suffered Wednesday.
Trenin's classified as day-to-day, coach Jared Bednar said Friday after morning practice.
