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.
