Hinz is second in points, tied for top spot in goals, the leader in plus/minus, has the longest goal scoring streak of the season and second longest assist and point streak, and the best shooting percentage in the entire league.
Not too bad for a player who didn’t make NHL Central Scouting’s players to watch list.
