Florida has acquired Vinnie Hinostoza from Minnesota for future considerations.

Hinostroza had a brief stint with the Florida Panthers in the 2020-21 season and will return there after spending most of the past two seasons with the Minnesota Wild. The 31-year-old forward averaged 10:18 time-on-ice and scored 10 points (3G / 7A) in 48 games this season with Minnesota.

Hinostroza will be a healthy scratch for Game 5 in Vegas on Tuesday.

Marcus Johansson (lower body) did not play Minnesota's previous game but will re-enter the lineup for Game 5 on Tuesday, sending Hinostroza to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 31-year-old Hinostroza played 11:57 and was held off the scoresheet in Game 4, his first playoff action in five years.

Hinostroza scored two points (0G / 2A) in 13 games with the Predators this season before being placed on waivers on Tuesday and being claimed by the Wild on Wednesday. The 30-year-old forward has 387 games of NHL experience but has primarily been an AHL player over the previous two seasons.

Nashville added to its offensive depth on Tuesday by adding nine-year veteran Vinnie Hinostroza to the Predators on a two-year, two-way contract. The 30-year-old appeared in 14 games with Pittsburgh in 2023-24 and had a goal and three points. Nashville will be his sixth NHL team as he looks to add to his 54 goals and 151 points in 374 career NHL games played.
