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.

Stanley Cup visits with dolphins during Florida Panthers summer tour
Every member of the Stanley Cup-winning NHL team, per tradition, gets a day with the famed trophy. Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito spent part of his day with the dolphins. Not the neighboring NFL team Miami Dolphins – but the aquatic mammals. He took the Stanley Cup to Theater of the Sea, a family-owned tourist attraction in Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Video from WPLG Local10 TV station in Miami showed Zito taking fish from the Stanley Cup's bowl and feeding a dolphin. Zito also posted photos of a sea lion eating out of the bowl, joining the tradition of dogs, horses and players' children eating from the top of the Stanley Cup. Zito played a key role in helping the Panthers winning a second consecutive Stanley Cup championship. He acquired Seth Jones and Brad Marchand before the NHL trade deadline. And he managed to get playoff MVP Sam Bennett, Marchand and Aaron Ekblad signed to new deals to give the Panthers a shot at a third consecutive title in 2025-26. Where has the Stanley Cup been? The Stanley Cup was taken to the Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale and then took center stage at the Panthers' parade. It spent a couple days at the NHL draft then went in for engraving. The names of the 2024-25 winning Panthers are now on the Cup. Forward Matthew Tkachuk took the Stanley Cup to his St. Louis hometown and while visiting with first responders in Brentwood, Missouri, he posed with the trophy inside a jail cell. Jones spent his day with the Cup in the Dallas area. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.

Padraig Harrington leads Justin Leonard by 2 shots at Senior British Open
Associated Press BERKSHIRE, England (AP) — Padraig Harrington birdied the final hole Saturday for another 5-under 65 for a two-shot lead over Justin Leonard going into the final round of the Senior British Open as the Irishman goes for his second senior major of the year. Harrington was among four players who had at least a share of the lead at some point during the round on the Old Course at Sunningdale. He seized the lead with birdies on the 13th and 14th hole, and a closing birdie added to his slight lead. Harrington was at 13-under 197. He has been in the United Kingdom the last three weeks for links golf, starting with the Scottish Open. He won the U.S. Senior Open in Colorado a month ago. Leonard, the only PGA Tour Champions player to make the cut last week in the British Open at Royal Portrush, also had a second straight 65. Thomas Bjorn had a 67 and was three shots behind. Harrington and Leonard are past British Open champions — Leonard at Royal Troon in 1997, Harrington winning the first of two claret jugs a decade later at Carnoustie (2007) and Royal Birkdale (2008). Either one can become the fifth player to win the British Open and Senior British Open, a feat last accomplished by Darren Clarke in 2022. Steven Alker, a two-time Charles Schwab Cup winner who opened with a 73, tried to get back in the game. He shot 66 and was among four players at 8-under 202, five shots behind. The winner is exempt for the 154th British Open next year at Royal Birkdale. ___ AP golf:
