Hintz garners helper in loss to Senators
Roope Hintz notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Senators. Hintz set up Jason Robertson for the opening goal just 4:31 into the game. Playmaking has been hard to come by for Hintz this year — since the start of December, he has 10 goals and three assists over 20 outings. Overall, the center is at 19 goals, eight helpers, 98 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 41 appearances in his usual top-line role. He’s slightly off the pace for a 40-goal season but could get there if he has a hot stretch or two in the second half.
Hildeby has rough game against Canucks
Dennis Hildeby made 15 saves in a 3-0 loss to Vancouver on Saturday. The first shot of the game sailed by Hildeby off Brock Boeser just 31 seconds into the game. It was an ominous omen, but the loss wasn’t really on Hildeby — his entire team didn’t show up. Hildeby needs to be developing in the minors to fulfill his potential. He’s a dynasty guy, not a redraft one. He has a 3.18 GAA and .891 save percentage in five starts this season.
