Latest news
Hinostroza was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Colorado.
Hinostroza signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche in July. He earned 12 assists, 18 points, 65 shots on net and 41 hits in 65 regular-season appearances between Minnesota and Florida in 2025-26. Assuming he goes unclaimed, he could become a depth call-up option for the Avalanche in the 2026-27 campaign.

Hinostroza signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.
Hinostroza had six goals, 18 points, 31 PIM, 41 hits and 27 blocked shots in 65 regular-season appearances between Minnesota and Florida in 2025-26. The 32-year-old is a capable fourth-line option, but Colorado is deep enough for Hinostroza to spend most of his time as a healthy scratch when the full forward corps is available.
RotoWire via ESPN · Jul 1
Hinostroza scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Red Wings.
Hinostroza opened the scoring at 4:57 of the first period, though the Panthers didn't turn the game into a blowout until the middle stanza. With four points over the last six games, Hinostroza made a solid contribution late in the campaign while the Panthers dealt with numerous injuries. He ended up with 18 points, 65 shots on net, 41 hits, 31 PIM and 27 blocked shots over 65 outings between Florida and Minnesota. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Hinostroza logged an assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Hinostroza led the Panthers' forwards with 16:36 of ice time. That likely wasn't on anyone's bingo card for this season, as he's often filled a fourth-line role when in the lineup. The 32-year-old forward is up to five goals, 11 helpers, 63 shots on net, 39 hits, 25 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 63 appearances between the Panthers and the Wild. Hinostroza should remain in the lineup for the team's last two games this year.

Hinostroza scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.
Hinostroza provided a quick response to Berkly Catton's goal in the middle of the first period, but the Panthers weren't able to keep pace after that. With three points over three games since joining the Panthers, Hinostroza is making a good case for keeping his fourth-line spot. He's at five goals, 13 points, 49 shots on net, 32 hits and a minus-7 rating over 51 appearances between Florida and Minnesota this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Mar 16
Hinostroza scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Making his first appearance for Florida since being acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline, Hinostroza opened the scoring midway through the first period before having a hand in a Niko Mikkola tally early in the third. Hinostroza is making his second career stint as a Panther after suiting up in nine games with the club during the 2020-21 regular season. Through 49 games in 2025-26, he's managed just four goals and 12 points in a bottom-six role.
