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.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Posts assist in win
Rotowire
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: 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: 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.

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.
