Roope Hintz scored one goal and two assists on two shots in 14:27 during Dallas's 6-5 win over Washington on Tuesday, November 3. He finished plus-2 with one hit.

The three points stand out on the score sheet, but Hintz managed just two shots and played 14:27, both typical for his recent averages (2.2 shots and 17:29 a night). His underlying play grades 78 out of 100 among forwards, a read on how sustainable his scoring is. He averages 0.84 points per game and runs on Dallas's first power-play unit, logging 3:08 with the man advantage each night.

Hintz's three points came without the shot volume or ice time that would suggest a larger role. He managed two shots in 14:27, well under his 17:29 average. The points reflect a good night of finishing, and his underlying process grade of 78 among forwards suggests he produces at a steady, middle-tier rate built on his 3:08 of power-play time per game.

His recent averages (0.29 goals, 0.55 assists, 0.32 power-play points per game) paint the picture of a second-line center with first-unit power-play exposure. Dallas plays three times this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday), giving Hintz volume to deliver another typical week. He remains a hold in all formats, rostered for his spot on the top power-play unit and his 0.84 points per game rather than for any one-off performance.

What to do

• Keep Hintz rostered in all formats for his power-play role and 0.84 points per game.

• Start Hintz in his three games this week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday).

• Do not chase Tuesday's three points as a sign of a breakout, given his typical shot and ice-time totals.
