Vinnie Hinostroza has always had speed and underrated playmaking ability. He showcased both yesterday night for the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Chicago Blackhawks look to now have three effective lines, adding Vinnie Hinostroza on a line with Philipp Kurashev and Dominik Kubalik. He isn’t the biggest player in the league, but he adds more offensive upside than Matthew Highmore, who was scratched.

The play on the rush before Kubalik’s goal was textbook Blackhawks hockey: use speed and offensive awareness to get a SOG or a goal on the play.
