Nils Hoglander Picks Up Third Goal of Season in Win over Jets
4 years agoVancouver Canucks rookie forward Nils Hoglander pocketed his third goal of the season Saturday night as the Canucks topped the Jets 4-1. In a game where teammate Brock Boeser scored twice and took over the top spot for goals scored in the league, it would be easy to overlook Hoglander's scoring, but with his first-period marker, Hoglander now sits tied atop the goals leaderboard for rookies. With Boeser and Hoglander putting plenty of pucks in the net, it is no surprise that Vancouver now leads the league in goals scored. They do only rank seventh in goals scored per game, however, as the Canucks have played more games than anyone else in the league as of Sunday. Take the goal totals from Vancouver skaters with a grain of salt, but early returns show a high-powered offense that will have plenty of fantasy value to offer.
