Dallas Stars forward Mason Hintz's season has been marred by injuries, and according to recent reports, it appears he's still a long shot to return to the ice for the team's playoff run. Sources close to the situation have indicated that Hintz is "ways away" from making a comeback, dealing a significant blow to the Stars' offense. As the team prepares to face off against their playoff opponents, the loss of a key player like Hintz will be felt, particularly with the team's reliance on his goal-scoring abilities. With the stakes higher than ever, the Stars will need to rely on their remaining roster to carry the load and propel them towards a successful postseason.
