Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has claimed forward Vinnie Hinostroza off waivers from the Nashville Predators and placed forward Jakub Lauko (lower-body) on Injured Reserve.

With Ryan Hartman suspended, the Minnesota Wild have claimed one of his best friends off of waivers to join the squad.

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman was suspended for the fifth time in his career. He also has been fined seven times.

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman was suspended 10 games for roughing Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stützle, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Monday night, following a sequence that the league ultimately determined was "not a hockey play.

The Minnesota Wild are coming off a 3-0 loss to the Boston Bruins last night. They will return to the ice tomorrow as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes at 7:30 PM EST.

Veteran forward Ryan Hartman can appeal the ruling but is a "repeat offender" and has been suspended by the NHL on four previous occasions.

He’s pretty upset. This is affecting him.” But also: "He’s got to do a better job. … Look, he just can’t do it.”

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman was recently handed a 10-game suspension for his vicious play on Ottawa Senators’ Tim Stutzle, and on Wednesday, he’s decided to file an appeal regarding the NHL’s disciplinary decision to suspend him that long.
