Blackhawks acquire Hinostroza from Panthers for Morrison

The Chicago Blackhawks acquired forward Vinnie Hinostroza from the Florida Panthers for forward Brad Morrison, the team announced Friday.

Hinostroza was a Blackhawks draft pick in 2012, suiting up for three seasons with the club from 2015 to 2018. He played in Arizona for two years afterward, and Hinostroza hasn't produced any points over nine games with Florida in 2021.

Morrison, 24, hasn't played an NHL game yet. He's notched five points over six contests for the AHL's Rockford IceHogs this season. Chicago acquired him from the Los Angeles Kings during the offseason for defenseman Olli Maatta.
