Roope Hintz returns from injury for Stars in Game 4 against the Oilers
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Roope Hintz suited up for the Stars in Game 4 of the NHL's Western Conference final against the Edmonton Oilers with Dallas trailing the best-of-seven series 2-1 on Tuesday night.
The team's No. 1 center sat out Sunday's 6-1 loss at Rogers Place with a lower-body injury after taking a slash from Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse to his left leg in the third period of Game 2.

Hintz warmed up ahead of Tuesday's matchup between Jason Robertson and Mikko Rantanen.
The 28-year-old also took the ice before Game 3, but didn't participate in line rushes and was scratched.
Hintz has five goals and six assists for 11 points across 15 playoff games this spring.
Selected with the 49th overall pick at the 2015 NHL draft, the Finn put up 67 points (28 goals, 39 assists) in 76 games during the regular season.

Islanders and Max Tsyplakov avoid arbitration with new two-year pact
The Islanders and Max Tsyplakov did not get as far as arbitration. The two sides avoided the July 29 hearing date as Tsyplakov inked a two-year deal worth $2.25 million annually, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Friday. The Islanders and Max Tsyplakov avoided arbitration with a two-year pact. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST Tsyplakov (7) tallied 10 goals and 25 assists in his first NHL season. Robert Sabo for NY Post Tsyplakov, 26, was the Islanders' last remaining restricted free agent, so his signing should conclude the club's offseason business, barring something unforeseen. The Russian winger had 10 goals and 25 assists in his first NHL season with a role that generally fell in the middle six. He expressed frustration about the lack of scoring, but had solid advanced numbers and played a heavy game that the Islanders liked. With a different-looking forward group this season, including Jonathan Drouin, Emil Heineman and fellow Russian Max Shabanov, Tsyplakov's role will likely be dependent on training camp.
