Hoglander is battling an illness Saturday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Hoglander is still likely to be an option Sunday in New Jersey, but that isn't guaranteed. He has no points and three hits in two appearances this season. If Hoglander is available against the Devils, then head coach Adam Foote might use the 24-year-old forward in a bottom-six capacity.

Head coach Adam Foote said Thursday that Hoglander (lower body) could return for the Canucks' game against the Sabres on Dec. 11, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hoglander has been sidelined since the start of the regular season due to his lower-body injury, but he recently began traveling with the team and appears to be closing in on a return. He made 72 regular-season appearances for the Canucks last year, logging eight goals, 17 assists, 76 hits, 23 blocked shots and 30 PIM while averaging 12:08 of ice time.

Hoglander (lower body) joined the Canucks during their four-game road trip but isn't close to returning to action, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hoglander has been out of action for the entire 2025-26 campaign due to his lower-body injury and will likely continue to miss much of December. Still, the fact that the forward was able to travel with the team should be considered a step in the right direction. Given his lengthy layoff, Hoglander figures to be eased back into practice, likely joining the team on the ice in a non-contact jersey as a first step.

Hoglander (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hoglander received a recovery timeline of 8-10 weeks after undergoing surgery in late September, sidelining him until at least the end of November. However, his move to LTIR suggests his return could be more toward the mid-December range. Hoglander produced eight goals and 25 points in 72 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign. It remains unclear when he will be able to make his 2025-26 debut.

EDGE Analysis
Hoglander underwent lower-body surgery in late September and isn't expected to return until late November at the earliest. He had eight goals and 25 points in 72 appearances with Vancouver in 2024-25. When Hoglander is healthy, he will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity.

General manager Patrik Allvin said Monday that Hoglander underwent successful lower-body surgery and will be out 8-10 weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Hoglander was injured in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Flames, and he'll now be on the shelf until at least late November. Evander Kane and Drew O'Connor figure to see more work on the left side up front, while Vitali Kravtsov or Arshdeep Bains could earn a roster spot out of training camp as a result of Hoglander's absence.

Hoglander (sprained ankle) is week-to-week after he was injured against the Flames on Wednesday, according to Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.
EDGE Analysis
Hoglander was expected to start the season on the second line, alongside Filip Chytil and Jonathan Lekkerimaki. Evander Kane is considered likely to move up to the second line in Hoglander's absence. Hoglander had only eight goals in 72 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, a big drop from the 24 goals he potted during the 2023-24 campaign.

Hoglander (undisclosed) will not return to Wednesday's preseason game versus the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks did not provide any additional details regarding Hoglander's injury. He exited the contest during the second period. His status for Friday's game versus the Kraken is unknown at this time, but it wouldn't be surprising if Hoglander sat out a couple of exhibition matchups at a minimum before returning.
