- The Dallas Stars lost 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday, while Stars center Roope Hintz suffered a leg injury from a slash by Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.

- Hintz's status as a game-time decision highlights a roster concern for the Stars in the best-of-seven Western Conference final tied 1-1.
