MILAN -- Roope Hintz says he's back to 100 percent after sustaining a broken foot late in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the Dallas Stars center will be ready for training camp when it begins next month.
“I’m feeling good. My foot is fine, and I’ve been able to train normally this summer,” Hintz said at the NHL/NHL Players Association European Player Media Tour on Friday. “So everything is good.”
The 28-year-old was injured when he was slashed on the left leg by Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse at 3:46 of the third period of Game 2 of the Western Conference Final on May 23. Hintz had to be helped off the ice in that game and did not play in Game 3.
“The biggest problem with Roope’s (injury) was we couldn’t get it to stop bleeding," Stars general manager Jim Nill said June 6.
