The Dallas Stars will have to manage without their star center Roope Hintz for at least the next two playoff games against the Minnesota Wild. The head coach Glen Gulutzan confirmed this on Tuesday.

Hintz, who has been sidelined for over a month and a half, is not yet ready to return, but hope is not completely lost. A possible return may happen if the series extends to a seventh game.

– It’s possible. Would I bet on it? No, Gulutzan told the media on Tuesday.

The matchup that was anticipated to be the most interesting in the opening round of the NHL has delivered exactly what was expected. Both championship favorites have secured two victories, and the series is still wide open.

The next opportunity for a playoff spot will be available in the early hours of Wednesday, Finnish time, when the teams meet for the fifth time, this time in Dallas.
