Hintz and Ekholm Set to Make Their Playoff Debuts in Crucial Game 4

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz and Edmonton Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm could potentially participate in the fourth game of the series. Both players have been involved in their respective teams’ practices.

Ekholm, who has yet to play in the current playoffs due to an injury sustained at the end of the regular season, has recorded 33 points (9 goals and 24 assists) in 65 games this season.

Hintz left the ice during the second game of the series following a high stick from Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse early in the third period, causing the Finnish forward to miss the third match.

The fourth game of the series is scheduled for the night of May 28 at 3:00 AM Moscow time, with the current series score standing at 2-1 in favor of Edmonton.
