ABBOTSFORD – Vancouver Canucks forward Nils Hoglander scored the opener but later exited in a 3-1 pre-season win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.
The Canucks announced before the third period that Hoglander would not return to the game.
Head coach Adam Foote told reporters the 24-year-old Swede left with a lower-body injury and would be re-evaluated Thursday.
Victor Mancini and Filip Chytil also scored for Vancouver, while Thatcher Demko made 11 saves at Abbotsford Centre.
Connor Zary scored Calgary’s lone goal, and Ivan Prosvetov stopped 28 shots.
Both teams have four pre-season games remaining.
