Lauko was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury Wednesday.

Lauko's shift to injured reserve allowed the Wild to claim Vinnie Hinostroza off waivers. Given his IR placement, the 24-year-old Lauko will miss at least the next two games and be sidelined through the 4 Nations Face-Off. It will be the third extended injury stint for Lauko this season, which has undoubtedly played a factor in his 24-game goal drought dating back to Oct. 29 versus the Penguins.
