Coghlan skated 12:06 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Islanders, registering zero points.

EDGE Analysis

The seldom-used Coghlan has been a healthy scratch more often than not this season. He has just a pair of helpers -- both of which came in the same game Dec. 22 -- in 11 games and should not be on anyone's fantasy roster at the present time.

Coghlan was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Chicago on Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coglhan posted two goals and one assist in five games with the Wolves during his conditioning stint. In six appearances with the Hurricanes this year, he has provided 10 shots on goal, three blocks and seven hits.

Coghlan was assigned to AHL Chicago on a conditioning loan Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan is eligible to spend 14 days with the Wolves during the assignment. He hasn't played an NHL game since Nov. 9, so this is a way for the Hurricanes to get the 24-year-old into game action. This move also more or less guarantees Jalen Chatfield will retain a third-pairing role with the big club for the next two weeks at a minimum.

Coghlan is projected to be scratched Wednesday against Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan did leave Carolina's preseason game against Buffalo on Oct. 4 with a lower-body injury, but his expected absence Wednesday appears to be a coach's decision. Coghlan has been practicing and remained on the ice with the scratches after Wednesday's morning skate. He had three goals and 13 points in 59 games with Vegas in 2021-22.

Coghlan exited Tuesday's game versus the Sabres with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan has made strides to be on the Hurricanes' Opening Night roster, so this injury couldn't come at a worse time. The severity of the injury is unknown, but more information should be available in the coming days. The Hurricanes don't play again until their season opener next Wednesday versus the Blue Jackets.

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.
