Impact Hague fought John Beecher in the second period after Beecher drew the ire of the Predators in the first. That wasn't Hague's only big moment, as he scored the game-winning goal with 29 seconds left in the third. It was his second tally of the season, giving him 10 points, 22 shots on net, 49 hits, 30 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-6 rating across 33 appearances.

Dishes out two apples Hague dished out two assists in Saturday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Hague picked up an assist on each of the Predators' two goals Saturday, including the lone assist on Tyson Jost's tally. With the pair of helpers, Hague is up to eight assists, nine points 25 hits and 24 blocks through 29 appearances this season. Saturday's outing was his third multi-point game this season, which could ultimately lead to the first 20-point season of his career. However, his lack of shot attempts and consistent offense leaves stronger options likely available on the fantasy waiver wire.

Two-point effort in loss Hague scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

Impact Both points came in a 27-second span early in the second period as Nashville grabbed a 3-2 lead that slipped away in the third. Hague had just one helper in eight games coming into the afternoon, and the lack of offense isn't surprising for a blueliner who's never produced more than five goals or 17 points in an NHL season.

Earns assist in team debut Hague logged an assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact Hague missed the first eight games of the regular season while recovering from an upper-body injury. He logged 21:11 of ice time in Saturday's contest and looks poised to play a top-four role on a regular basis for the first time in his career. He's produced no more than 17 points in any of his first six NHL campaigns, and his physical style opens him up to injuries on occasion, so there's a decent amount of risk for little reward from a fantasy perspective.

Removed from IR Hague (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Hague appears to be ready for his Nashville debut after missing the first eight games of the 2025-26 campaign. He had five goals, 12 points, 74 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and 82 hits across 68 regular-season appearances with Vegas in 2024-25. Hague will probably replace Roman Josi (upper body) in Saturday's lineup against the Kings.

Game-time decision Saturday Hague (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus Los Angeles on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Impact Hague has been out all season and is currently on injured reserve, but that will be a formality if he is able to play. Hague will replace Roman Josi (upper body) in the lineup if healthy, otherwise Nick Blankenburg will enter the lineup.

Lands on injured reserve Hague (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Hague is still approximately 2-3 weeks away from returning to action after sustaining an injury in the Predators' first preseason contest. The defenseman will be in the mix for bottom-four minutes once healthy. Look for Nick Blankenburg to get the first chance to fill in for Hague on the blue line.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss 4-6 weeks Hague (upper body) is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Hague sustained the injury during Sunday's preseason game. He had five goals, 12 points, 40 PIM, 82 hits and 74 blocks across 68 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. Hague's absence makes it more likely that Nick Blankenburg will start the regular season as a member of the third pairing, though Jordan Oesterle and Andreas Englund are presumably competing with Blankenburg for that spot.
