Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Nets lone goal in blowout loss
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Jets.
Hoglander was able to break up Connor Hellebuyck's shutout bid at 9:16 of the third period. Despite that, Hoglander ranked last in ice time for the Canucks, playing just 9:58 in the blowout loss. The 24-year-old winger ended his 34-game goal drought, during which he had just five assists. Three of those helpers have come over his last eight contests, but it still doesn't look like he has much trust with head coach Rick Tocchet. Hoglander is at nine points, 39 shots on net, 42 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 40 appearances.

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.
Hoglander registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
Hoglander has two helpers over his last three games. The 23-year-old saw a season-low 10:14 of ice time Saturday, while linemate Pius Suter carved out a larger role in a two-goal game. Hoglander has done alright with five points, 14 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-1 rating over 10 outings this season, but playing in a fourth-line role inhibits his fantasy value.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Contributes helper
Rotowire
Hoglander logged an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Hoglander played a season-low 12:14 on Monday. He dropped to the fourth line for this game after getting some looks in the top six early on in the campaign. The 23-year-old winger is likely more of a secondary scorer -- he has four points, 13 shots on net and 15 hits through eight appearances this season.

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: Lands three-year extension
Rotowire
Hoglander signed a three-year, $9 million contract extension with the Canucks on Sunday.
Hoglander has carved out a role in Vancouver over his first four seasons in the NHL, and he'll be rewarded with a contract extension after a career-best year during the 2023-24 campaign. Over 80 regular-season appearances last year, he tallied 24 goals, 36 points and 100 hits while averaging 12:06 of ice time.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.
Hoglander offered a quick response to Dylan Holloway's opening tally in the first period, but the Canucks' offense stalled out after that. The goal was Hoglander's first this postseason, and he's added just one assist with eight shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-2 rating over 10 appearances. The winger has been listed on the second line recently, but he's played a limited role with no power-play time, so there's little reason to think he'll soon turn a corner on offense.

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.

Hoglander logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Coyotes.
Hoglander had gone 12 games without a helper, scoring three goals on 20 shots in that span. He's not playing as well in a top-line role as he did earlier in the campaign, but he remains there at even strength while also getting some time with the second power-play unit. The winger has 23 goals, 12 helpers, 117 shots on net, 95 hits, 47 PIM and a plus-22 rating through 77 appearances.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Lights lamp Tuesday
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
Hoglander got the Canucks on the board in the first period, but they exited the frame down 4-1. The 23-year-old winger has five goals and three assists over 13 contests since the start of March. He's at 23 goals, 34 points, 110 shots on net, 87 hits and a plus-20 rating through 73 games this season. Hoglander's even-strength minutes continue to come on the top line, but his inconsistency on offense keeps his appeal limited to deeper fantasy formats.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Scores twice in victory
Rotowire
Hoglander scored two goals on four shots in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Flames.
Hoglander's 21st and 22nd goals of the season were the first two tallies of Saturday's contest. He also added three hits and a plus-2 rating in 12:59 of ice time. Hoglander snapped a four-game pointless slump with the multi-goal performance. He has been a streaky scorer this campaign, as he had a four-game point streak prior to his recent slump. Fantasy managers may want to consider him as a streaming option on a night when Vancouver has a good matchup.

The 23-year-old winger has put together a solid campaign with a career-high 28 points, 93 shots on net, 63 hits and a plus-14 rating over 62 appearances.
