The injury woes continued Saturday for the Arizona Coyotes as the team announced forward Vinnie Hinostroza was placed on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
Hinostroza is week-to-week, according to the Coyotes.
Starting goaltender Antti Raanta was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week with a lower-body injury. He is listed as week-to-week.
Forward Michael Grabner remains out indefinitely after taking a stick to the eye during a game last week.
The Coyotes recalled forward Michael Bunting from AHL Tucson on Friday and he could take Hinostroza’s spot during his absence.
Hinostroza is the Coyotes’ No. 4 scorer, notching 12 points (4 goals, 8 assists) in 27 games.
He played just 6:53 in the Coyotes’ 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
The Coyotes next play Saturday at home against the San Jose Sharks.
