Roope Hintz To See First Preseason Action As Avalanche Come To Dallas
Antoin Khudobin gets a turn in net as the goalie battle continues in Big D.
The Dallas Stars will finish their preseason schedule with a home-and-home versus the Colorado Avalanche starting tonight at the American Airlines Center. Puck drop will be 7 PM CDT.
Roope Hintz will see his first preseason game for the Stars after playing through all of last season and then undergoing surgery in the offseason to fix a gnarly groin muscle injury. It was reported earlier today that Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz will miss 3 to 4 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Additionally, head coach Jared Bednar will not be behind the bench for these two preseason games against the Stars as he tested positive for COVID-19.

Jason Robertson - Roope Hintz - Joe Pavelski
