Hoglander tallied at 18:05 of the first period, giving the Canucks a fortunate 1-0 lead at the time.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Registers assist
Rotowire
Hoglander logged an assist in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Oilers.
Hoglander picked up an assist on Dakota Joshua's third-period tally. While he signed a two-year contract over the summer, Hoglander's $1.1 million cap hit makes him far from a lock to be in the lineup on a nightly basis. He began the season in a fourth-line role, seeing just 12:54 of ice time even with the Canucks playing only 11 forwards due to cap constraints and injuries. The 22-year-old still has room to grow, and fantasy managers may want to wait and see if that growth will happen in 2023-24 before adding him to their rosters.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Nets goal in overtime win
Rotowire
Hoglander scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sharks.
Hoglander tallied in the second period, but he was once again more of a peripheral contributor for the Canucks. Despite his top-line assignment, he saw a team-low 11:00 of ice time in the high-scoring contest. The 21-year-old winger is up to three goals, seven points, 25 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 22 outings, but such a limited role will continue to lower his scoring potential.

Hoglander has had some ups and downs lately, but he has a goal and an assist in his last four games. The 21-year-old is at two tallies, three helpers, 19 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-4 rating in 18 appearances.

Rotowire
Hoglander notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.
Hoglander was scratched for Thursday's game versus the Ducks, but he was back on the top line at even strength Saturday. He responded well, setting up J.T. Miller's first-period tally. The assist was Hoglander's second in nine outings this season, and the 21-year-old winger has added 12 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-3 rating. His ice time remains low, so don't let his spot in the lineup fool you -- he'll need a significant bump in usage to bring fantasy value in redraft formats.

Canucks' Nils Hoglander: Auditioning on line with Pettersson
Rotowire
Hoglander skated alongside Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko during Tuesday's practice, according to the Vancouver Province.
Hoglander was also on the second power-play unit. Earlier in the preseason he was skating on a depth line with Nils Aman and Linus Karlsson, but injuries to Brock Boeser (hand) and Ilya Mikheyev (lower body) have created an opening for Hoglander. It helps that he's impressed early on, with Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau recently calling him "the best player on the ice so far." He was limited to 10 goals and 18 points in 60 games while averaging 13:05 minutes last season.
