With all the excitement surrounding game number 2 of preseason, a scary moment emerged for young Vancouver Canucks Forward Nils Hoglander as he went down with an injury against the Calgary Flames.
Just earlier in the day, Nils Hoglander addressed some major concerns that were surrounding his game, specifically his lack of production in the goal scoring category that saw him receive some pretty significant criticism from fans and media.
He made a point to assure the Canucks fanbase that his hot end of the season is surely going to translate to 2025-26 as he ramped up his training and on ice time during the summer.
"My goal now is to finish where I left off last year, so I feel pretty confident with that, and that's why I wanted to stay on the ice all summer too. I was skating way more this offseason." Hoglander said.
