Penguins' Vinnie Hinostroza Left Game with Lower-Body Injury

The Penguins soon after made it official that Hinostroza would not return to the game and was dealing with a lower-body injury.

In the play that forced Hinostroza out of the contest, he was tripped by Hurricanes' Jack Drury causing him to slide hard into the wall.

The Penguins were awarded a power play opportunity, but they failed to score on the man advantage.

Head coach Mike Sullivan did not have any further updates following the game.

In the midst of a back-to-back situation, the Penguins could have multiple players be elevated off of injured reserve against the Vegas Golden Knights.

With Hinostroza’s injury, it’s also very possible he finds himself on that list.
