- As of early April 2026, Hintz was dealing with a lower-body injury and was out for an extended period; teams and reporters mentioned a possible return around the start of the playoffs, though no firm timetable was set [source reporting from CBS Sports and related outlets].[1]
- In March 2026, there were updates indicating he would miss multiple weeks due to the lower-body issue, with optimism for a playoff return; timing remained uncertain at that point.[2]
- By April 10, 2026, reports suggested Hintz was not expected to return during the regular season, placing his potential comeback with the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs if he progresses well, as Dallas had limited regular-season games remaining.[3]
