Nicolas Hague News

Hague was acquired from Vegas in the offseason and then signed to a four-year, $22 million contract with the Predators. He suffered an upper-body injury earlier in the preseason and has been sidelined for Nashville's first seven games this season. Hague was originally paired with Roman Josi to start training camp but it's unclear if he will return there when he makes his season debut. The 26-year-old is entering his seventh NHL season after putting up five goals, 12 points and 40 PIMs in 68 games played last season.

Hague was acquired from Vegas in the offseason and then signed to a four-year, $22 million contract by the Predators, but will have to wait to make his debut after it was announced he is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury. Hague was originally paired with Roman Josi to start training camp and will mark a massive loss for the Predators early. The 26-year-old is entering his seventh NHL season after putting up five goals, 12 points and 40 PIMs in 68 games played last season.

Minutes after being acquired from Vegas in a trade for Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon, Nashville has signed Nicolas Hague to a four-year, $22 million contract extension ($5.5 million AAV). The 26-year-old appeared in 68 games for Vegas in his sixth season with the Golden Knights, picking up five goals, 12 points and 40 PIMs.

The 26-year-old appeared in 68 games for Vegas in his sixth season with the Golden Knights, picking up five goals, 12 points and 40 PIMs.

Hague was a surprise scratch on Tuesday, with the Golden Knights not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Alex Pietrangelo is also out with an illness, so Kaedan Korczak and Ben Hutton will fill in on the Vegas blue line.

Hague has only played one of the previous five games and has been placed on Injured Reserve, eligible to return to the lineup, at the earliest, on November 11th against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 25-year-old Hague has one point (1G / 0A) and averages 16:08 time-on-ice through nine games this season.

Hague's injury will make room for Ben Hutton's season debut. Hague has one goal and zero assists in nine games this season.

It's unclear when Hague suffered the injury, but he was unable to join his teammates on the bench for the start of the third period of Friday's game. We should receive an update on his status ahead of Saturday's game against the Sharks.

Hague missed Game 2 due to a lower-body injury and will remain out on Saturday as Vegas hosts Dallas for Game 3. The 25-year-old has missed a total of eight regular season games in the last two season and had two goals, 12 points, 43 PIMs and 105 SOG in 73 games this year.

Hague played 15:41 time-on-ice in the Golden Knights 4-3 game one victory over the Dallas Stars but suffered a lower-body injury at some point and will not be able to play on Wednesday in game two. The 25-year-old Hague finished the 2023-24 campaign with 12 points (2G / 10A), 111 blocks, and 153 hits in 73 games.

Alex Pietrangelo is battling an illness and will not suit up on Tuesday, allowing Hague to draw into the lineup. Hague did not play the last game but has been a regular for the Golden Knights this season, posting 12 points (2G / 10A), 102 hits, and 94 blocks in 58 games this season.

Hague has a goal, two assists, 14 PIMs, eight SOG, and a -1 plus/minus but will be out for at least this weekend's games as he deals with a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old will be replaced by Ben Hutton on Vegas' third defensive pairing.

The Golden Knights signed their RFA defenseman the day before the season started, so he will not play since he's been away from the team during the preseason. Hague was training with the Kitchener Rangers (OHL) during training camp. The 23-year-old had four goals and 10 assists (14 points) in 52 games a season ago.
