Hintz was hurt in Game 4 of the Stars’ second-round series against the Colorado Avalanche after receiving a cross-check and then blocking a shot.

DeBoer added he’s hopeful Hintz, who skated ahead of Wednesday’s practice, will be available for Game 2 on Saturday.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said his team will go with the same lineup that beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7, which means veteran forward Corey Perry will once again be a healthy scratch.
