Nils Hoglander News

Hoglander has not played in a week, but he will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. As has been the case for most of the Canucks team in 2025-26, Hogland is producing at a career-worst rate (0.12 PTS/GP), a steep decline from the 0.39 points-per-game he had posted over his career heading into this season. The 25-year-old Swedish forward is averaging 11:32 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games this season.

With Evander Kane returning from an illness, Hoglander will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Hoglander is averaging 11:32 time-on-ice and has three points (1G / 2A) in 25 games this season.

Hoglander has been a regular in Vancouver's lineup for the past few weeks, but was absent from practice on Wednesday because of an upper-body injury and will not play on Thursday. The 25-year-old Swedish forward has two assists in 18 games this season.

Hoglander has been a regular in Vancouver's lineup for the past few weeks, but was absent from practice on Wednesday because of an upper-body injury as he gets evaluated further. The 25-year-old Swedish forward has two assists in 18 games this season.

Hoglander underwent lower-body surgery towards the end of training camp and will finally make his season debut on Monday against the Minnesota Wild. The 24-year-old should return to his usual bottom-six role this season after an eight-goal, 25-point campaign across 72 games played in 2024-25.

Hoglander's sixth season in Vancouver will get off to a rocky start after the Canucks announced Monday that the forward successfully underwent lower-body surgery and is expected to be out for 8-10 weeks. The 24-year-old was expecting to play his usual bottom-six role this season after an eight-goal, 25-point campaign across 72 games played in 2024-25.

Hoglander was expected to start the season on Vancouver's third line but will likely need to wait to make his season debut, as he is sidelined week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old scored 25 points (8G / 17A) in 72 games last season.

Hoglander has not played since March 22nd but returned to practice on Friday. The 24-year-old Hoglander is averaging 11:52 time-on-ice and has 21 points (6G / 15A) in 66 games this season. The Canucks return to action on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks.

Hoglander was limited to only 7:03 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers with an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old Hoglander is averaging 11:52 time-on-ice and has 21 points (6G / 15A) in 66 games this season. He is expected to miss the remainder of Vancouver's road trip.

It's unclear at this point whether Hoglander is battling an undisclosed injury or is simply a healthy scratch. Linus Karlsson will draw into the lineup in his place.

Hoglander appears to be the odd-man out of the Canucks lineup as they make way for the expected return of Elias Pettersson (undisclosed). Hoglander has just two goals and six assists in 38 games this season.

Hoglander will take a seat along with Max Sasson on Thursday as the Canucks opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Their absences will allow Phil Di Giuseppe and Linus Karlsson to make their season debuts.

Höglander is coming off his first full season with the Canucks and has been rewarded with a three-year contract extension after scoring 36 points (24G / 12A) in 80 games. In addition, Höglander was tied for second amongst all Canucks' forward with a +23 plus/minus. The 23-year-old Swede is projected to play alongside Aatu Raty and Conor Garland on the third line.

Hoglander has been a healthy scratch for Vancouver's previous two games but is expected to draw back into the lineup for Ilya Mikheyev on Thursday for Game 5. The 23-year-old has vastly underperformed in the playoffs after scoring 24 goals in the regular season, with one assist, four SOG, two PIMs and a -2 plus/minus in eight games played.
