- On May 23, 2025, in Dallas during the second matchup of the Western Conference Finals, Dallas Stars’ Roope Hintz exited the ice after receiving a slash from Edmonton’s Darnell Nurse.
- The slash occurred on top of Hintz's left skate in the third period, prompting officials to review the play for a major penalty that was later reduced to a minor penalty.
- Hintz fell right away, avoided putting any pressure on his left leg, remained on the ice for several minutes, and was assisted off by fellow players Granlund and Bicshel along with a member of the training staff.
- The Oilers received a two-minute slashing penalty, the Stars failed to score on the power play, and Hintz's game status remained unknown after he left toward the locker room.
- This injury incident added to an already physical series between the Stars and Oilers, with Hintz being the Stars' second-leading playoff goal scorer and the game tied to increased tension.
