The Vancouver Canucks signed left wing Nils Hoglander to a three-year, $9 million contract Sunday.
Hoglander, 23, scored a career-high 24 goals and added 12 assists in 80 games last season.
The new deal will begin in the 2025-26 season because Hoglander has one season remaining on a two-year, $2.2 million contract that he signed with the Canucks in July 2023.
All of Hoglander’s goals last season came at even strength. In 11 career playoff games, he has a goal and an assist.
“We were all impressed with the way Nils came into training camp and approached the preseason,” Vancouver general manager Patrik Allvin said. “His work ethic, tenacity and motor have helped him establish himself as an NHL player and we feel with our continued support and development he has a lot more room to grow both on and off the ice.”
The Canucks took Hoglander in the second round (40th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft. He has 90 points (50 goals, 40 assists) in 221 career games.
