Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Placed on injured reserve
Hinostroza (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Monday.
Hinostroza was previously deemed week-to-week, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The veteran winger becomes the fourth forward on IR for the Wild right now, joining Ryan Hartman, Marco Rossi and Vladimir Tarasenko, all of whom are also dealing with lower-body problems. All the injuries will see Danila Yurov and Yakov Trenin taking on bigger roles.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Deemed week-to-week
Head coach John Hynes said Sunday that Hinostroza is week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Hinostroza was hurt in Friday's 5-0 win over Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old will now miss some time as a result, which means Tyler Pitlick could see more regular playing time in the short term. Hinostroza has accounted for two goals, three helpers and a minus-5 rating across 22 games this campaign.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Will miss time
Hinostroza sustained a serious undisclosed injury in Friday's game versus the Penguins and will miss time, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hinostroza was hauled down during the second period and landed awkwardly, resulting in the injury. He will return to Minnesota for further evaluation, effectively ruling him out of the Wild's next two games at a minimum. That said, head coach John Hynes' update after Friday's contest suggests Hinostroza's absence could be much longer.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Lights lamp Friday
Hinostroza scored a goal in Friday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Hinostroza has three points over four outings in November, which is already better than his October output. The 31-year-old has found a consistent place in the Wild's bottom six, setting him up to be a full-time NHL option this season. Fantasy managers aren't likely to get much out of the winger, who has five points, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-5 rating over 16 contests this season.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Two points in third period of win
Hinostroza scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Hinostroza's offense is starting to warm up. He's earned four points this season, and they've all come within the last five games, a span in which he also has six shots on net and a plus-1 rating. The 31-year-old forward has occupied a middle-six role, and his slow start on offense cost him a job on the second power-play unit, though he could get it back if he continues to chip in semi-regularly. He's produced 13 shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-5 rating across 13 outings this season.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Registers assist Saturday
Hinostroza logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Hinostroza's helper was his first point in nine outings this season. The long-term absence of Mats Zuccarello (lower body) has allowed Hinostroza to stay in the lineup early in the season. The 31-year-old Hinostroza hasn't been all that impressive, adding just seven shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-6 rating. Fantasy managers can find more productive wingers on the waiver wire.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Scores in Monday's shootout loss
Hinostroza scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Devils.
Hinostroza hadn't scored since March 4 in Seattle, but he closed out March with four points over seven contests. The 30-year-old winger has moved around the lineup a bit but most often settles into a middle-six role with time on the second power-play unit. Between Minnesota and Nashville this season, he has five goals, 10 points, 45 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-2 rating across 34 appearances.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Notches 100th career assist
Hinostroza posted an assist, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.
Hinostroza ended a six-game point drought with the secondary helper on Ryan Hartman's first-period tally. This assist was the 100th of Hinostroza's career, a milestone he reached in his 402nd contest. The 30-year-old winger has put up seven points, 38 shots on net, 26 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 28 appearances between the Wild and the Predators this season. The Wild's many injuries at forward have allowed Hinostroza to maintain a middle-six role with power-play time despite his recent lack of offense.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Nets another power-play goal
Hinostroza scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
That's four goals over eight games as a member of the Wild for Hinostroza, and three of those tallies have come with the man advantage. He's had just 16 shots since he was claimed off waivers from the Predators, so there is a bright red flag when it comes to regression concerns. Still, he seems to have a better fit in Minnesota's lineup for now. Hinostroza has six points, 27 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-1 rating over 21 appearances this season.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Tallies on power play
Hinostroza scored a power-play goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to Avalanche.
Hinostroza put the Wild ahead 2-1 in the first period, but that was their last goal of the game. Hinostroza has scored three goals across six contests with the Wild. Overall, the 30-year-old has five points, 24 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating through 19 appearances between Minnesota and Nashville.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Strikes on power play
Hinostroza scored a power-play goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Hinostroza is up to two goals over three games with the Wild since being claimed off waivers from the Predators. He has four points, 20 shots on net, 15 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 total appearances this season. Hinostroza is seeing power-play time for Minnesota, helping him be more consistent on offense. He'll have a chance to make an impact as long as Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), Jakub Lauko (lower body) and Ryan Hartman (suspension) are all out.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Nets first goal with Wild
Hinostroza tallied a goal and took three shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 win over Carolina.
Hinostroza found the back of the net less than one minute into the third period in his debut with Minnesota. Between his time with the Wild and Nashville Predators, he has one goal, two assists, 14 shots on net and 13 hits across 14 appearances this season. With Kirill Kaprizov on IR (lower-body), Hinostroza is playing on Minnesota's third line. The right-winger doesn't have much value in fantasy for now but has the opportunity to take on a larger role in the superstar's absence.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Claimed off waivers
Hinostroza was claimed off waivers by Minnesota from Nashville on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Hinostroza has two assists in 13 appearances with Nashville in 2024-25. Minnesota is missing Ryan Hartman (suspension) and Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), so adding Hinostroza provides the Wild with some forward depth.

Predators' Vinnie Hinostroza: Contributes helper Monday
Hinostroza notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.
Hinostroza has slipped into a part-time role after playing for much of January. Luke Evangelista (lower body) is hurt again, which gives Hinostroza another chance to fill a second-line role at even strength, though the latter has yet to do much with the opportunity. For the season, the 30-year-old winger is at two assists, 11 shots on net, 13 hits and six PIM over 13 appearances. Hinostroza has exhausted his waivers exemption by playing in more than 10 games since the last time he cleared waivers, so he could have a little more security for staying with the big club as long as the Predators have injuries to forwards.

Predators' Vinnie Hinostroza: Lands on waivers
Hinostroza was placed on waivers Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Hinostroza provided two helpers over 13 appearances with the Predators this season. If he passes through the waiver wire, the right-shot forward will report to AHL Milwaukee.

Predators' Vinnie Hinostroza: Notches assist in loss
Hinostroza picked up an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.
The helper was Hinostroza's first point in five NHL appearances this season. He's added four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while logging middle-six minutes at even strength. The 30-year-old has occasionally displayed a scoring touch, earning a career-high 39 points in 2018-19 and 25 points over 62 appearances in 2021-22, but his opportunity with the Predators may only last as long as they have numerous injury concerns at forward.

He also picked up one goal and two assists in 14 regular-season outings with Pittsburgh at the NHL level last campaign.
