Notches 100th career assist Hinostroza posted an assist, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact 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.

Nets another power-play goal Hinostroza scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact 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.

Strikes on power play Hinostroza scored a power-play goal on five shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact Hinostroza is up to two goals over three games with the Wild since they claimed him off waivers from the Predators. He has a total of four points, 20 shots on net, 15 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 16 appearances this season. Hinostroza is seeing power-play time for Minnesota, and that could help 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.

Nets first goal with Wild Hinostroza tallied a goal and took three shots on net in Thursday's 2-1 win over Carolina.

Impact 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.

Claimed off waivers Hinostroza was claimed off waivers by Minnesota from Nashville on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Contributes helper Monday Hinostroza notched an assist and two hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

Impact 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 he's 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 has a little more security for staying with the big club as long as the Predators have injuries to forwards.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Notches assist in loss Hinostroza picked up an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact 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.
