The Dallas Stars have made it a habit of bouncing back from in emphatic ways after previously dropping games. Dallas previously came back in their first round matchup with the Avalanche to win Game 7 after losing in a lopsided defeat in Game 6. The Stars had a deflating shutout loss in Game 2 of their current series with the Jets, and once again rebounded in Game 3. Besides receiving some assistance from Mikko Rantanen, the Stars were also gifted with production from Roope Hintz. The Finnish forward has had a quiet start to the series before breaking out on Sunday with a two-point performance.  

Roope Hintz has had a rollercoaster performance thus far in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Through his first nine games, Hintz has notched eight points. While these numbers are very impressive, the points and goals have come in bunches. Hintz kept up with his trend on Sunday when he notched another two points en route to the Stars's victory. Hintz got the scoring started for Dallas has he deflected Mikko Rantanen's shot in the first period. Hintz repay Rantanen later on when he would dish the puck to the fellow countryman in the high slot to extend the Dallas lead.

While the Stars are currently enjoying the volcanic level hot streak of Mikko Rantanen, they will need Hintz to not only score, but score consistently.  Hintz will aim to get points in a consecutive game for only the second times this postseason, as the Stars will be back in action on Tuesday night. Puck drop is set for 7pm CDT, and can be viewed on ESPN.
