Rotowire
Hague recorded an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blues.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Snaps slump with assist
Rotowire
Hague notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
Hague entered Sunday with no points over his last eight games. He snapped the drought with a helper on Ivan Barbashev's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. Playing on the third pairing doesn't give Hague a ton of scoring chances. The 24-year-old blueliner has 13 points, 78 shots on net, 92 hits, 104 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through a career-high 62 appearances.

Rotowire

The 24-year-old blueliner is up to 12 points, 69 shots on goal, 95 blocked shots, 73 hits and a minus-2 rating through a career-high 53 appearances. He remains in a third-pairing role, so he's not a player fantasy managers should need to turn to for depth.

Rotowire
Hague picked up an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Tallies overtime winner
Rotowire
Hague scored a goal on five shots, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.
Hague proved to be an unlikely hero for Vegas, tallying 2:04 into the extra session to secure the win. The Golden Knights had surrendered a two-goal lead over the last half of the third period to end up in overtime.

Hague posted an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
Hague had a shot deflected in by Michael Amadio late in the third period. The assist was Hague's second through 11 games in December -- despite significant injuries on the Vegas blue line, he's seen only a slightly larger role and virtually no increase in offense.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Sets up buzzer beater
Rotowire
Hague recorded an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Jets.
With the Golden Knights missing their top-three right-side defensemen, Hague was moved to his off-hand side to cover for their absence. He also saw a season-high 24:28 of ice time Tuesday, and his assist on Mark Stone's buzzer beater in the first period snapped Hague's nine-game drought. The 24-year-old blueliner is at one goal, five assists, 38 shots on net, 40 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in 30 contests overall. Despite the bump in ice time, he's not being considered for power-play time, so his offense is likely to remain fairly low.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: First goal of season
Rotowire
Hague had a goal and an assist in a 6-4 win over Montreal on Saturday.
The goal was his first this season and it was a boomer from the point at 13:25 of the first period. The points were his first in four games. Hague isn't known for offense -- his last two-point game came almost a year ago (Dec. 8) , but he's not an anchor on your roster either. He may offer 25-point value over the entire season.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Offers assist in win
Rotowire
Hague posted an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.
Hague has collected two assists in his last three games, which accounts for all of his offense this season. The 23-year-old has added nine shots on net, 12 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in eight appearances. He's working on the third pairing with no power-play usage, so Hague isn't a very strong fantasy option.

Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Posts helper
Rotowire
Hague notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Hague missed all of training camp while negotiating a new contract, and he also missed the season opener. That lost time in practice likely explains his slow start -- his assist Monday was his first point in six games this year. The 23-year-old has maintained a physical presence on the Golden Knights' third pairing, logging nine hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating, but he's unlikely to be a factor on the power play unless one of Shea Theodore or Alex Pietrangelo gets hurt.
