Nils Hoglander - NHL News & Rumors

Good to go Hoglander (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for training camp, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports Tuesday

Impact General manager Chris MacFarland told reporters Tuesday that all players are expected to be healthy for camp. Hoglander will be trying to carve out a role in the middle six with Nashville after coming over from Vancouver in a trade in June. The 25-year-old winger has seen his stock fall in the last couple of years, and he was limited to five points in 38 games for the Canucks in 2025-26. While he should be poised for a bounce-back campaign, it's tough to expect much more than 20-25 points out of Hoglander given the trajectory of his production.

Sent to Music City Hoglander (undisclosed) was acquired by Nashville on Monday from Vancouver in exchange for a 2029 third-round pick.

Impact Hoglander becomes the latest addition to general manager Chris MacFarland's reshaped Predators roster, and free agency is still a few days away. The 25-year-old Hoglander was limited to just 38 regular-season games in 2025-26+, generating two goals and three assists along the way. If he can get back to being the 2023-24 version of himself, Hoglander could push for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds this year.

Dealing with undisclosed injury Hoglander will not compete at the 2026 IIHF World Championship due to an undisclosed injury, Sweden announced Wednesday.

Impact Hoglander was limited to just 38 regular-season games for the Canucks this year due to a lower-body injury and now finds himself sidelined for the international competition. If the 25-year-old winger can stay healthy, he should be capable of pushing for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds next year, though that's becoming an increasingly big question mark.

Puts away goal in loss Hoglander scored a goal in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Flames.

Impact The tally snapped a seven-game point drought for the winger, who was scratched three times in that span. Even when Hoglander plays, he's been in a fourth-line role lately. He's now at two goals, four points, 27 shots on net, 40 hits and a minus-2 rating over 30 appearances this season. On a low-scoring team, Hoglander is a non-factor in virtually all fantasy formats.

Gets first goal of season Hoglander scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact This was Hoglander's first tally of the campaign and his first point in six outings. The 25-year-old got a look on the top line at even strength, though he was still limited to 11:39 of ice time. Hoglander has mostly been a bottom-six player when in the lineup this year, collecting three points, 21 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-1 rating over 22 appearances.

Set to return Wednesday Hoglander (lower body) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jets, NHL.com reports.

Impact Hoglander missed the Canucks' final four games ahead of the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, but he'll be back in action during the team's first matchup following the layoff. Over 18 appearances this year, he's recorded two assists, 28 hits, six PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 11:32 of ice time.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return before Olympic break Head coach Adam Foote said Monday that Hoglander (lower body) has been ruled out through the Olympic break.

Impact Hoglander suffered a lower-body injury during last Tuesday's loss to the Sharks and was unavailable for the past two games. He's been ruled out for Monday's game against Utah and Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights, and he'll have time to recover during the league's multi-week layoff for the Olympics. Hoglander was recently labeled as day-to-day, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action when the Canucks resume play in late February.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Hoglander (lower body) is slated to sit out Saturday's matchup against Toronto, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Hoglander is day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He has chipped in two assists, 18 shots on goal and 28 hits through 18 appearances this campaign.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday's game Hoglander (lower body) won't play in Thursday's game against the Ducks, Randip Janda of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Hoglander suffered a lower-body injury during Tuesday's loss to San Jose. Although he was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate, he's considered day-to-day and will be forced to miss at least one game. David Kampf will likely draw into the lineup against Anaheim, while Hoglander's next opportunity to return will be Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers lower-body injury Hoglander is being evaluated Wednesday after sustaining a lower-body injury during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to San Jose, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.

Impact Hoglander has two assists, six PIM, 18 shots and 28 hits in 18 appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. If he can't play Thursday versus Anaheim, then David Kampf might draw into the lineup.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Draws in, earns assist Hoglander notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Hoglander had been scratched for the previous two games amid a season-long slump. The helper was his first point in 14 appearances this season, to go with 13 shots on net, 23 hits and four PIM. The 25-year-old winger is likely to be confined to a bottom-six role until he can show more consistency, which is sorely needed on a Canucks team that ranks tied for 29th in the league with 2.55 goals per game.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play Hoglander (illness) is expected to play against the Devils on Sunday, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

Impact Despite sitting out Saturday's practice, Hoglander won't miss any game action. He hasn't earned a point in two appearances this season while posting two shots on net and three hits.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Hoglander is battling an illness Saturday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Impact Hoglander is still likely to be an option Sunday in New Jersey, but that isn't guaranteed. He has no points and three hits in two appearances this season. If Hoglander is available against the Devils, then head coach Adam Foote might use the 24-year-old forward in a bottom-six capacity.

Ready to rock Hoglander (lower body) will be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Detroit on Monday, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650...

Impact Following a 29-game absence, Hoglander will make his season debut in a fourth-line role. He had eight goals, 25 points, 83 shots on net and 76 hits across 72 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

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.

Shifts to LTIR Hoglander (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Monday.

Impact Hoglander received a recovery timeline of 8-10 weeks after undergoing surgery in late September, sidelining him until at least the end of November. However, his move to LTIR suggests his return could be more toward the mid-December range. Hoglander produced eight goals and 25 points in 72 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign. It remains unclear when he will be able to make his 2025-26 debut.
