Hoglander notched an assist in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Hoglander racked up four points over the last six games of the season. The 24-year-old had a turbulent season at times, finishing with eight goals, 17 helpers, 83 shots on net, 76 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 72 appearances. He'll need to find a middle ground between his 24-goal, 36-point 2023-24 and this season's numbers, and even then, he's only an option in deeper fantasy formats.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Won't return during road trip
Rotowire
Hoglander (undisclosed) recently returned to Vancouver and won't rejoin the Canucks for the remainder of their road trip, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports Monday.
Hoglander exited Saturday's game against the Rangers due to an injury and didn't participate in Sunday's practice session. It's not yet clear what injury he's dealing with, but the ailment will apparently keep him out for at least four contests. Jake DeBrusk will likely remain on the top line Monday against New Jersey, while Hoglander's next chance to return will be April 2 against Seattle.

Rotowire
Hoglander (undisclosed) didn't participate in Sunday's practice and is day-to-day according to head coach Rick Tocchet, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.
Hoglander departed Saturday's game against the Rangers, and Tocchet relayed that Hoglander and Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) are "pretty sore and banged up." Vancouver will continue its road trip Monday in New Jersey -- Hoglander will likely be a game-time decision for that matchup. If he's unavailable, Jake DeBrusk could slot back onto the top line.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Contributes helper in win
Rotowire
Hoglander notched an assist, two shots on goal and five hits in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

Hoglander slotted in on the third line and set up the first of Quinn Hughes' two goals on the night.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Sends assist in shootout win
Rotowire
Hoglander notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken.
Hoglander has two helpers and six shots on net over his last four games. That's an improvement on what he did for much of November and December, which saw him suffer through a 21-game point drought. Still, the 24-year-old winger is in a fourth-line role without power-play time, so it's tough to trust that any gains in his scoring will stick in the long run. He has seven points, 34 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 35 appearances this season.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Snaps slump with helper
Rotowire
Hoglander notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Hoglander had been scratched for the previous two games but drew back into the lineup Monday. Perhaps he should have gone to the press box earlier -- in his return to the ice, he snapped a 21-game point drought with a helper on Kiefer Sherwood's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 24-year-old Hoglander has six points, 30 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-3 rating over 32 appearances. He's squandered all the progress he made after a 36-point regular season in 2023-24, and it looks like he'll have to compete to stay in even a bottom-six role moving forward.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Not producing on offense
Rotowire
Hoglander's point drought reached 15 games in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Hoglander has picked up 16 PIM, 12 shots on net and 17 hits in that span. The 23-year-old's name has circled in recent trade rumors, as it appears his 36-point breakout in 2023-24 was an anomaly in the Canucks' system. This season, he's at five points, 26 shots on net, 34 hits and 20 PIM through 25 contests overall, and he's likely to be little more than a third-line option until he can show more on offense.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Deposits opening goal
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
Hoglander's goal from in tight at 16:09 of the first period stood as the game-winning tally in the shutout. The 23-year-old winger has racked up three points, eight shots on net, 11 hits, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over five contests this season. The Canucks are still juggling their lines a bit, but Hoglander has the potential to stick in a top-six role if he remains productive with more minutes.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Capitalizes on turnover
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Hoglander struck after the Flyers turned the puck over in their own zone in the first period. However, the first of Hoglander's two minor penalties led to Tyson Foerster's power-play goal to knot the score at 1-1. Hoglander's offense has been fine to begin the year -- he has two points and four shots over two games, but he'll need to keep his game sharp in all aspects if he's going to push for anything more than a third-line role.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Deals assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Hoglander recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.
Hoglander began the game on the third line, but his 15:04 of ice time surpassed the totals for listed top-six wingers Danton Heinen (14:00) and Daniel Sprong (13:07). After finding consistency in 2023-24 with 36 points in 80 regular-season appearances, Hoglander should be a full-time NHLer this year. He's an option to move into a top-six role should head coach Rick Tocchet want to shuffle his lines, and Hoglander should also be a regular on the second power-play unit.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Tickles twine in win
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal, added four PIM and notched two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Hoglander snapped a five-game goal drought with his first-period tally, which was the game-winner. He had just one helper during that slump. The 23-year-old winger is up to 24 goals, 36 points, 119 shots on net, 100 hits, 51 PIM and a plus-23 rating through 79 appearances. His ice time rarely matches up with his top-line role at even strength, but Hoglander has been productive despite the limited usage.
