Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz will not play in Thursday's game against the visiting Montreal Canadiens due to an upper-body injury.

Hintz sustained his injury after being hit by Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews in the first period of Dallas' 4-1 win against Toronto on Tuesday.

Hintz, 28, has a team-leading 19 goals to go along with eight assists in 42 games this season.
