Panthers' Vinnie Hinostroza: Two-point effort Tuesday
Hinostroza scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Making his first appearance for Florida since being acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, Hinostroza opened the scoring midway through the first period before having a hand in a Niko Mikkola tally early in the third. Hinostroza is making his second career stint as a Panther after suiting up in nine games with the club during the 2020-21 regular season. Through 49 games in 2025-26, he's managed just four goals and 12 points in a bottom-six role.

Panthers' Vinnie Hinostroza: Headed for Sunshine State
Hinostroza is being traded to the Panthers from the Wild for future considerations Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Hinostroza became expendable when the Wild brought in Nick Foligno, also for future considerations. In 48 games this year, the 31-year-old Hinostroza has generated three goals, seven helpers and 46 shots while averaging just 10:18 of ice time. Fantasy managers should expect Hinostroza to fill a similar role with the Cats, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Pots rare goal
Hinostroza scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Hinostroza ended a 24-game goal drought with his first-period tally, which stood as the game-winner. The winger has mostly played in a bottom-six role this season, and he continues to hold a spot in the lineup over Tyler Pitlick. Hinostroza has just three goals, nine points, 39 shots and 25 hits through 41 outings, so he's not a great option for most fantasy formats.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: First helper since return
Hinostroza supplied an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.
The helper was Hinostroza's first point in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old winger is filling a bottom-six role and shouldn't be expected to play a major role on offense while the Wild are near full health. For the season, he has six points, 24 shots on net, 22 hits and a minus-3 rating across 28 appearances.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Removed from IR
Hinostroza (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
After missing the last 13 games, Hinostroza will be available to return to the lineup against Edmonton on Saturday. He has registered two goals, five points, 22 shots on net and 20 hits through 22 outings this season.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Upgraded to day-to-day
Hinostroza (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Washington on Tuesday but is considered day-to-day, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
It's a step in the right direction for Hinostroza, even if he won't be in action for Tuesday's tilt. Prior to his absence, the winger was mired in a six-game pointless streak during which he managed seven shots, four hits and one block while averaging 9:41 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Hinostroza figures to slot into a bottom-six role, though he'll need to be activated off injured reserve first.

Wild's Vinnie Hinostroza: Set for extended absence
Head coach John Hynes said Tuesday that Hinostroza's lower-body injury will sideline him for 4-6 weeks, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Hinostroza was placed on injured reserve Monday, and this latest update indicates that the 31-year-old will be out of the lineup until at least sometime in late December. The Wild are dealing with multiple injuries up front, so their top players will need to continue carrying the load, but that also means depth players will receive consistent opportunities going forward.

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.
