Hronek managed an assist and 10 PIM in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Hronek set up Quinn Hughes for the opening goal late in the first period. With a goal and seven assists over his last six contests, Hronek has been dialed in offensively while playing a top-four role. The 27-year-old blueliner is up to 26 points, 61 shots on net, 67 hits, 58 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 45 appearances this season. That's nearly a 50-point pace for a full campaign, but an earlier six-week absence due to injuries will deny Hronek a chance at a career year.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Snags helper in shootout win
Rotowire
Hronek notched an assist and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.
Hronek has a goal and six helpers over his last five outings.

With the helper, Hronek has reached the 25-point mark for the sixth year in a row, doing so in just 44 appearances in 2024-25. He's added 61 shots on net, 67 hits, 58 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating.

Rotowire
Hronek notched two assists, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
These helpers were Hronek's first points in six games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break.

Hronek now has 20 points, 55 shots on net, 62 hits, 49 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 40 appearances this season.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Five points in five games
Rotowire
Hronek had a goal and assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Hronek got the Canucks on the board first when he pinched down from the right point, and Elias Pettersson hit his tape with a perfect cross-ice backdoor pass. Hronek assisted on Brock Boeser's game-winning goal during a third-period power play by hustling to keep the puck in at the left point. Hronek missed 21 games from late November to mid-January due to an upper-body injury and a lower-body procedure, but he's moving well now. He has five points (one goal, four assists) in his past five games.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Two helpers in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Hronek notched two assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.
Hronek has five helpers over his last six contests. He's played a slightly larger role in the last two games due to the absence of Quinn Hughes (undisclosed). That has included a promotion to the top power-play unit. Hronek has 16 points (three on the power play), 41 shots on net, 50 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 32 appearances this season. He's worth a look in standard fantasy formats as long as Hughes is on the shelf.

This was Hronek's first multi-point effort in six games since he returned from a lower-body injury.

Hronek is up to 13 points, 34 shots on net, 43 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 27 appearances. He doesn't have the scoring upside of defensive partner Quinn Hughes, but Hronek provides a bit of physicality while playing massive minutes.

Rotowire
Hronek posted an assist in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
This was Hronek's second game back from a lower-body injury that required surgery. The 27-year-old defenseman hasn't exactly been eased back in, logging over 20 minutes in both contests since his return. He's now at 10 points, 25 shots on net, 40 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 23 appearances.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Considered game-time decision
Rotowire
Head coach Rick Tocchet said Monday that Hronek (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Winnipeg, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Hronek has been sidelined since late November due to a lower-body injury, but he rejoined the Canucks on Monday following a conditioning stint with AHL Abbotsford. The team wants to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Tuesday's puck drop, but his return to game action appears to be imminent. If Hronek isn't given the green light against the Jets, he'll likely be in the mix to suit up at home against the Kings on Thursday.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Returns from conditioning stint
Rotowire
General manager Patrick Allvin announced Monday that Hronek (lower body) has rejoined the Canucks following his conditioning stint with AHL Abbotsford.
Hronek hasn't suited up for Vancouver since Nov. 27, and he spent less than a week with the AHL club on his conditioning stint. While it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action in the NHL, his return to the Canucks signals that he's trending in the right direction. Once he's deemed healthy, he'll likely reclaim a top-four role with a spot on the second power-play unit.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Begins conditioning stint
Rotowire
Hronek (lower body) was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday for a conditioning stint.
Hronek hasn't played since Nov. 27, so this will give him an opportunity to shake off the rust before playing for Vancouver. He has a goal and nine points over 21 appearances in 2024-25. Once he's healthy, Hronek should serve in a top-four capacity and will probably also feature on the second power-play unit.

Hronek underwent surgery Dec. 3 and is currently on long-term injured reserve.

Rotowire
Hronek produced an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Hronek now has a goal, six assists, 19 shots on net, 32 hits, 17 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 18 appearances.
