Hague scored a goal, added two PIM, logged two hits, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Hague had gone 13 games without a point, and he lost five contests due to a lower-body injury and one to an illness in that span. The 27-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, 12 points, 40 shots on net, 63 hits, 46 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 48 appearances. That matches his point total from the previous two years with Vegas, though he needed 73 games in 2023-24 and 68 outings in 2024-25 to get there. Hague should see steady top-four minutes for the rest of the campaign.

Hague will miss Saturday's clash versus Utah and is considered week-to-week at this time.
EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Hague (illness) won't be in the lineup against Edmonton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hague is day-to-day and will miss at least one game, but he has some additional time to recover ahead of Friday's matchup against Colorado. He has earned two goals, nine assists, 26 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and 51 hits through 37 outings this campaign. Justin Barron will replace Hague in Tuesday's lineup.

Hague scored a goal and added five PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hague fought John Beecher in the second period after Beecher drew the ire of the Predators in the first. That wasn't Hague's only big moment, as he scored the game-winning goal with 29 seconds left in the third. It was his second tally of the season, giving him 10 points, 22 shots on net, 49 hits, 30 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-6 rating across 33 appearances. Hague's been firmly in a bottom-four role this year, but he's on pace for a career year, sitting just seven points shy of his high-water mark set in 2020-21 and matched in 2022-23.

Hague dished out two assists in Saturday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Hague picked up an assist on each of the Predators' two goals Saturday, including the lone assist on Tyson Jost's tally. With the pair of helpers, Hague is up to eight assists, nine points 25 hits and 24 blocks through 29 appearances this season. Saturday's outing was his third multi-point game this season, which could ultimately lead to the first 20-point season of his career. However, his lack of shot attempts and consistent offense leaves stronger options likely available on the fantasy waiver wire.

Hague notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators had 13 skaters record a point, and Hague was one of two to get multiple points. He helped out on goals by Reid Schaefer and Jonathan Marchessault in this contest. Hague has earned three helpers and a plus-6 rating over his last four games, and he's at six points, 15 shots on net, 33 hits, 14 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 18 contests overall.

Hague scored his first goal of the season and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Both points came in a 27-second span early in the second period as Nashville grabbed a 3-2 lead that slipped away in the third. Hague had just one helper in eight games coming into the afternoon, and the lack of offense isn't surprising for a blueliner who's never produced more than five goals or 17 points in an NHL season.

Hague logged an assist, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Hague missed the first eight games of the regular season while recovering from an upper-body injury. He logged 21:11 of ice time in Saturday's contest and looks poised to play a top-four role on a regular basis for the first time in his career. He's produced no more than 17 points in any of his first six NHL campaigns, and his physical style opens him up to injuries on occasion, so there's a decent amount of risk for little reward from a fantasy perspective.
