Top-line Dallas Stars centre Roope Hintz will still be out of the lineup for the Western Conference Final opener Thursday night against Edmonton, which is still without forward Adam Henrique. Hintz missed the last two games of the Stars' second-round series against Colorado after leaving in the first period of Game 4 with a lower body-injury on May 13. Stars coach Pete DeBoer said during the morning skate Thursday that Hintz is still considered day to day.
The Edmonton Oilers took the ice for practice today as they prepare for Game 2 versus the Vancouver Canucks, and star forward Leon Draisaitl was noticeably absent. After the game, Kris Knoblauch said it was nothing more than cramping and equipment issues, but that may not be the case. When asked today following practice on Draisaitl's condition, head coach Kris Knoblauch didn't give much of an update. “Leon and Adam are day-to-day,” Knoblauch said.
