Saad Yousuf: Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz remains out with an upper-body injury. DeBoer said that Hintz is progressing and getting back.
“I don’t need to see him in an exhibition game. If he gets in 1, great. If he doesn’t, I’m sure he’ll find a spot in our opening lineup. We’ll make some room for him.”
Saad Yousuf: Stars forward Wyatt Johnston is dealing with an upper-body injury. He had missed a practice, returned for one, and is now out again.
