Coghlan has a good chance to crack the Hurricanes' opening night roster, Chip Alexander of the News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan has been turning heads so far in preseason and stood out with a three-assist effort in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning. The 24-year-old blueliner recorded 13 points in 59 games with Vegas last season before being dealt to the Canes along with Max Pacioretty in July.

Coghlan and Max Pacioretty were traded from the Golden Knights to the Hurricanes on Wednesday in exchange for future considerations, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Golden Knights needed to free up cap space, so they sent two players to the Hurricanes for essentially nothing. Coghlan should have a chance to compete for a bottom-four role in Carolina after posting 13 points in 59 contests in 2021-22.

Coghlan logged 13 points in 59 appearance in 2021-22.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan was able to play nearly three quarters of the Golden Knights' games in his second NHL campaign. Much of his playing time was due to a long-term injury to Alec Martinez -- Coghlan likely would have been a healthy scratch more if the team's defense corps was at full health. The 24-year-old added 62 hits, 61 blocked shots and 108 shots on net while occasionally drawing power-play time. He'll likely be in contention for a third-pairing role again in 2022-23.

Coghlan has been a healthy scratch for the last six games.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan was on a four-game point drought prior to his extended stint in the press box. The 24-year-old has been decent with 13 points, 61 hits, 60 blocked shots and 103 shots on goal in 57 outings this season. Barring an injury or a shakeup from head coach Pete DeBoer, Coghlan's playing time will likely remain limited at best as the Golden Knights fight for a playoff spot.

Coghlan produced an assist and four hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan's helper ended his five-game point drought. The 24-year-old defenseman has seen a regular role this season, but he's often seen bottom-four minutes. Coghlan's at 13 points, 101 shots on net, 58 hits, 58 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 53 contests.

Coghlan unleashed six shots in a 4-0 loss to the Jets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan did not find the back of the net in this one, but it wasn't for lack of trying. The 24-year-old defenseman has not been much for scoring of late. After compiling three goals and seven assists through December 31, the blue liner has no goals and two assists in 26 contests since.

Coghlan produced an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan had gone 18 games without a point, and he missed six games in that span for illnesses and healthy scratches. He's had no choice but to play lately with the Golden Knights missing Brayden McNabb (arm) and Ben Hutton (COVID-19 protocols). Coghlan is up to 12 points, 86 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 43 hits and a minus-4 rating in 47 contests. He'll see some power-play time on the second unit, but the 24-year-old doesn't score enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Coghlan has overcome his illness but is a healthy scratch Tuesday versus the Sharks, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan was present at Monday's practice, indicating he's no longer dealing with an illness. The defenseman didn't have a guaranteed place in the lineup with the return of Zach Whitecloud from a foot injury, so Coghlan could end up being a healthy scratch often in the near future.

Coghlan (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Avalanche, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan will miss a second game with the flu. Zach Whitecloud and Ben Hutton will continue to stick in the lineup while Coghlan is out. Coghlan's next chance to return is Tuesday versus the Sharks.

Coghlan (illness) will not be in Friday's lineup against the Coyotes, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan is dealing with the flu and his status for Saturday's game against the Avalanche is likely in question as of now. He'll be replaced by Zach Whitecloud (foot), who is returning from injured reserve Friday. Coghlan has 11 points while averaging 14:20 of ice time through 40 games this season.
