Hintz was lucky on the way.
Roope Hintz survived his injury, which he received between Thursday and Friday night in the NHL, with a start.
Hitz’s team Dallas Stars was playing against the Minnesota Wild when Miro Heiskanen’s shot hit his Finnish colleague in the leg. This had to be hauled off the ice.
Now the reporter following Stars Lia Assimakopoulos reports in Xthat Hintz will be ready to play on the night between Saturday and Sunday when the team faces the Florida Panthers.
According to Assimakopoulos, Stars coach Glen Gulutzan is “relieved” about the situation. The Finnish striker could have been injured even worse.
