Minnesota Wild claims Vinnie Hinostroza from exceptions from Nashville -Raised

Minnesota Wild claimed Vinnie Hinostroza from the exceptions of the Nashville predators on Wednesday, before he could be transformed into AHL’s Milwaukee -Admirals.

Hinostroza began the season in Milwaukee, where he led AHL to score with 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) when Nashville remembered him at the end of December. He has since appeared in 13 matches for the predators who recorded a few assists and an average of 11:32 Ice Age per day. Battle during this time.

Hinostroza will now have a chance to compete in a playoff hunt as he joins a Minnesota list that has been ravaged by injuries to several star players, as well as a 10-game-pension for the former predator tip Ryan Hartman. The Wild (31-19-4) is currently in third place in the Central Division with 66 points.

The predator’s active list is now on 22 players: 13 Forward, seven defenders (not including Jeremy Lauzon, who is on injured reserve) and two Goaltenders. Forward Luke Evangelista (day to day, lower body) and Mark Jankowski (week to week, upper body) are injured, so the team’s decision to give up Hinostroza may be an indication that one or both are close to returning before Nashville’s next match Friday against Chicago Blackhawks.

The predators may also be inclined to summon one of their young forward -looking views from Milwaukee to make his NHL debut. Joakim Kemell stands out as the obvious choice that general manager Barry Trotz has previously mentioned him as a view that could see playing time in Nashville this season.

Kemell, the predator’s first round election in 2022 NHL Draft (No. 17 overall) recently represented the Admirals at the AHL All-Star Classic-Oronically enough as a replacement for Hinostroza, which was in Nashville at the time. He has 25 points (9 goals, 16 assists) in 38 matches with Milwaukee this year.
