Roope Hintz's 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs
On November 29, 2022, Roope Hintz committed to an eight-year, $67.6 million deal with the Dallas Stars, barring him from becoming a restricted free agency. In 2022–23, he tied his best of 37 goals while setting new NHL career highs of 38 assists and 75 points.
As a result, Hintz began the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs with 11 points in five games, passing Mike Modano (10 points, 2003 Western Conference Quarterfinal), Sergei Zubov (10 points, 2003 Western Conference Quarterfinal), and Jamie Benn (10 points, 2016 Western Conference First Round) to become the player with the most points in a playoff series since the Stars moved to Dallas for the 1993–94 season.
He became only the second Stars player in the last 20 years to score five goals in a single series (Denis Gurianov had six in the first round of the 2020 Western Conference).
That series was a six-game victory against the Minnesota Wild. Three players have ever played for the Dallas/Minnesota North Stars, Tony McKegney (seven goals in the 1985 Norris Division Finals), Steve Payne (seven goals in the 1981 Preliminary Round), and Gurianov.
