Nils Hoglander Returns To Canucks Lineup In Top-Six Role
11 months agoVancouver Canucks left wing Nils Hoglander will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against Edmonton. He's been a healthy scratch for the last two games but gets a fresh opportunity. Hoglander is poised for a top-six role, replacing Ilya Mikheyev, who will land in the press box after going scoreless in all 10 playoff games this year. With him on zero goals and one assist, things haven't gone great for Hoglander either in the postseason. But he will get a big chance to impress on Thursday, playing next to Elias Lindholm and Elias Pettersson.

Nils Hoglander Hands Out Two Assists
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.
