Roope Hintz, Dylan Larkin and Spencer Knight injury updates impact Dallas Stars, Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks

Roope Hintz will miss at least two weeks of play because he has sustained a lower-body injury. Hintz sustained his injury during a body check with Nathan MacKinnon while playing against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.

The injury happened during the second period when Hintz needed assistance to leave the ice because he could not bear weight on his left leg.

The team is hopeful Knight will be available when Chicago returns home to face the Utah Mammoth. The Blackhawks called up Drew Commesso and Nick Lardis from the American Hockey League because they were not available to play.The most recent NHL status updates show that team lineups face sudden changes because of player injuries and health issues.
