Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz\u2019s comeback was cut short Friday night when he sustained a lower-body injury during the second period of the team\u2019s matchup with the Colorado Avalanche.<\/p>\n

The organization confirmed that Hintz would be sidelined for the rest of the contest following the injury.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred when Hintz delivered a check on Colorado\u2019s Nathan MacKinnon, driving him into the boards near the corner of the Avalanche\u2019s attacking zone. During MacKinnon\u2019s attempt to escape the check, Hintz lost his footing and immediately clutched his upper left leg area with 4:22 remaining in the period.<\/p>\n

Team medical staff and teammate Jason Robertson assisted the Finnish Olympian as he made his way off the ice.<\/p>\n

The injury comes as Hintz was making his return after being sidelined for the team\u2019s last four contests due to sickness. Going into Friday\u2019s game, he ranked fifth among Stars players with 44 points, recording 15 goals and 29 assists this season.<\/p>\n
