Nicolas Hague Fantasy Stats

Nashville Predators defenseman Nicolas Hague (upper body) will not be healthy for the start of the season. He has been ruled out for 4-6 weeks due to an upper-body injury. Hague suffered the injury during a preseason game on Sunday against the Florida Panthers. It's an unfortunate setback for the 26-year-old blue-liner, who was working on building chemistry in preseason with new teammates after joining from the Vegas Golden Knights a few months ago. Nick Blankenburg is expected to take Hague's spot in the backline to start the season. Fantasy managers can ignore Blankenburg, who finished last season with only 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) in 60 games.

Nashville Predators defenseman Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) made an early exit from Sunday's preseason game against the Florida Panthers. He suffered an undisclosed injury in the second period and didn't return to the game. Hague made a positive impact in a 5-3 victory with one assist and three shots across 15:09 of ice time. The Predators acquired Hague from the Vegas Golden Knights during the offseason, signing him to a four-year, $22 million extension. He has a significant role to play on the team, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect much value from him. Hague has never hit the 20-point mark during his six-year NHL career, finishing the 2024-25 campaign with 12 points (five goals, seven assists), 74 shots, 74 blocks, and 82 hits in 68 contests.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nicolas Hague (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with the Sharks. He is considered day-to-day after Hague suffered a lower-body injury on Friday versus Ottawa. Hague mostly takes care of the physical part of the game. His offensive production has been limited to one goal, but Hague has recorded 11 blocks and nine hits in eight appearances. Kaedan Korczak will slot into the defense in Hague's absence, making his second outing of the campaign. The 23-year-old made his season debut on Oct. 22 against the Kings, where he recorded an assist, along with three blocks and two hits.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nicolas Hague (lower body) will miss Saturday's Game 3 against the Stars. He suffered a lower-body injury in the series opener on Monday. Hague had 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 73 games during the regular season, with 111 blocks and 153 hits. He led the Vegas blue line with four hits in Game 1. Alec Martinez replaced him in the lineup for Game 2 and figures to remain on the third defensive pairing on Saturday after the Golden Knights produced an outstanding defensive performance in a 3-1 win on Wednesday.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nicholas Hague is out for Wednesday's Game 2 of the team's first-round series against the Dallas Stars, according to head coach Bruce Cassidy. No specific reason was given and Hague is listed as day-to-day. The hulking 6-foot-6 defender doesn't contribute much on offense with two goals and 12 points across 73 games this season but is physical with 153 hits and 43 penalty minutes while he also blocked 111 shots on the campaign. It appears Alec Martinez will jump in and make his series debut on Wednesday. He notched four goals and 17 points with 165 blocked shots across 55 games this season.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nicolas Hague is expected to miss the rest of the week with a lower-body injury. His absence will start Thursday night in a clash with Winnipeg, and Hague will then likely also be forced to miss Saturday's battle with the Avalanche and Sunday's meeting with the Ducks. The 24-year-old has been doing a little bit of everything on the Vegas blue line this season, logging three points (one goal, two assists) in 10 games with eight shots on goal, 14 blocks, and 10 hits. Ben Hutton will be inserted into the lineup as Hague's replacement.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nicolas Hague has signed a three-year contract with the team just as the 2022-23 season is about to start. He was a restricted free agent after coming off his entry-level deal and Hague received a contract that's worth $6.88 million in total. The cap hit for his contract stands at $2.29 million. The 23-year-old has skated in 142 regular-season games, recording 14 points with 38 penalty minutes, 80 blocks and 57 hits. Hague is a nice piece for Vegas, but he doesn't carry any fantasy value as a third-pairing blue-liner on the team.
