BREAKING: Avalanche Head coach has been sacked with immediate effect after an intense meeting ….

The Dallas Stars will be without centre Roope Hintz for a second straight game because of an upper-body injury.

Hintz will miss Game 6 of their second-round series with the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night. The Stars can advance to the Western Conference Final for the second year in a row with a win.

The 27-year-old Hintz left Monday’s 5-1 victory at Colorado after blocking a shot in the first period. Earlier in the game, he went down hard when he was cross-checked by Nathan MacKinnon. Hintz has two goals and four assists in 11 games this post-season.

Colorado will be without centre Yakov Trenin, who plays a big role on the penalty kill, because of an upper-body injury he suffered in a 5-3 win at Dallas on Wednesday.

Trenin’s classified as day-to-day, coach Jared Bednar said Friday after morning practice.

Yakov Trenin, who left Game Five in the first period, will not be available to play for the Avalanche. He’s dealing with an upper-body injury, and it looked like it might have occurred right off the face-off here.
