Stars' Hintz leaves ice bloodied after hit by puck

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz was hit with a puck shot by Edmonton's Adam Henrique and left the ice with a towel pressed against his bloody face.

Hintz extended his stick toward Henrique, whose wrist shot sent the puck under his visor.

He lay on the ice, with his face in a towel, as the team's medical staff made an assessment and helped him skate toward the dressing room.

Hintz, a 28-year-old Finn, has 25 goals and 52 points to rank among Dallas' leaders.

The game in Edmonton marked the Stars debut for Mikko Rantanen , who is also from Finland.

Dallas made a big splash at the NHL trade deadline, acquiring Rantanen from Carolina and giving him an eight-year extension worth $96 million that matches his jersey number..
