1 week agoVancouver Canucks left wing Nils Hoglander (undisclosed) missed most of Saturday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers. He logged only 7:03 of ice time, finishing the contest with one shot on goal and two hits. Vancouver also lost Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) in Saturday's loss. After the game, Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet told the media that both players are considered doubtful for the next game on Tuesday against the New Jersey Devils. Hoglander and Pettersson have been part of the team's top-six group, and a significant frontline shakeup could be on the horizon for the Canucks.

2 years agoVancouver Canucks winger Nils Hoglander registered two assists as the team beat Calgary 4-3 in a shootout Wednesday. Conor Garland and Sheldon Dries benefited from Hoglander's work after he was a late addition to the squad. The young winger was set to be a healthy scratch for the game, but Brock Boeser is currently feeling under the weather and he wasn't ready to play Wednesday despite taking part in warmups. Hoglander has struggled to make an impact in 2022-23, but he's now averaging a point per game over his last four outings. He's on nine points in total for the year with 24 games played, so it's been a significant improvement on his part lately.
