The childhood buddies are playing together after Hartman returned from a suspension and Hinostroza came over in a trade.

Hartman and Hinostroza have been friends since they were 8 years old: "We both went our own ways for a while, and now we’re back together."

Hinostroza scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken. That's four goals over eight games as a member of the Wild for Hinostroza, and three of those tallies have come with the man advantage.

SEATTLE — There were no “proud parent” social media posts the first time Ryan Hartman and Vinnie Hinostroza played hockey together. Not that their parents weren’t delighted by their on-ice success playing for a Chicago-area mite team when both were 8 years old. It’s just that social media wasn’t what it is now 22 years ago.

SEATTLE — Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist, and the Minnesota Wild held on for a 4-3 win against the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena on Tuesday. “It was a great 30 minutes and then a bad 30 minutes,” Zuccarello said. “We got the two points. ... First half was ours, second half was theirs, and we still found a way to win.”

We had a great 30 minutes and a bad 30 minutes, and then fortunately we get the two points,” said Mats Zuccarello.

Mats Zuccarello’s goal 8:22 into the second period proved to be the difference in the Minnesota Wild’s 4-3 win over the Seattle Kraken.
