ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild has been battling injuries as of late. In a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Wild lost another forward to an injury.

Vinnie Hinostroza, who has been playing top nine minutes all season, left the Penguins game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

After the game Wild head coach John Hynes said he would be out for a while but he did not have more of an update than that.
