The Vancouver Canucks expect to be without Nils Hoglander for eight to 10 weeks after the forward underwent surgery for a lower-body injury on Monday.
Hoglander, 24, was hurt during the second period of a preseason game against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.
He amassed 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists) in 72 games last season, his fifth in the NHL since the Canucks selected him in the second round of the 2019 draft.
Across 293 career games, Hoglander has totaled 115 points (58 goals, 57 assists) and 127 penalty minutes. His best season came in 2023-24, when he tallied 24 goals -- all at even strength -- and 12 assists while playing 80 games.
