Pittsburgh Penguins Sign Vinnie Hinostroza

July 7, 2023 at 3:25 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 2 Comments

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that the team had added forward Vinnie Hinostroza to a one-year deal for the 2023-24 NHL season. The contract will pay Hinostroza the league minimum, $775K over one year.

This will be Hinostroza’s fifth team in his career, having spent parts of eight years with the Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, Florida Panthers, and Buffalo Sabres. Hinostroza’s best year came back in the 2018-19 season, scoring 39 points in 72 games for the Coyotes. Now joining a team in dire need of forward depth in the bottom six, Hinostroza could certainly add some value to the Penguins’ lineup.

If Hinostroza is unable to crack Pittsburgh’s lineup by the start of the season, he will be an even greater addition to their AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Last season, the baby Penguins had quite a fall, going 26-32-8-6, falling well short of the playoffs in the Atlantic Division. Even worse for them, they were only one of three teams in the AHL last season not to record at least 200 goals as a team.

Even being a little undersized standing below six feet tall, Hinostroza has 120 games played at the AHL level, scoring 35 goals and 56 assists. Although most of those games came at the beginning of his career, Hinostroza’s skill and style of play should benefit the Penguins organization no matter what level he plays at.

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period was the first to report that the Penguins had signed Hinostroza.
