NILS HOGLANDER NEWS

Could return next week Head coach Adam Foote said Thursday that Hoglander (lower body) could return for the Canucks' game against the Sabres on Dec. 11, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Hoglander has been sidelined since the start of the regular season due to his lower-body injury, but he recently began traveling with the team and appears to be closing in on a return. He made 72 regular-season appearances for the Canucks last year, logging eight goals, 17 assists, 76 hits, 23 blocked shots and 30 PIM while averaging 12:08 of ice time.

Traveling with team Hoglander (lower body) joined the Canucks during their four-game road trip but isn't close to returning to action, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Monday.

Impact Hoglander has been out of action for the entire 2025-26 campaign due to his lower-body injury and will likely continue to miss much of December. Still, the fact that the forward was able to travel with the team should be considered a step in the right direction. Given his lengthy layoff, Hoglander figures to be eased back into practice, likely joining the team on the ice in a non-contact jersey as a first step.

It remains unclear when he will be able to make his 2025-26 debut.
