Morrissey caught the ‘Hawks rookie in the first period of Winnipeg’s eventual 4-0 victory, knocking Hinostroza from the game.
Morrissey received a two-minute charging minor on the play:

Hinostroza suffered an upper-body injury but, per head coach Joel Quenneville, was “all right” following the contest. Quenneville did add that he’d know more today, once Hinostroza underwent further evaluation.
