MILWAUKEE — Cody Hodgson is attempting the improbable by trying to get back into the NHL eight years after his retirement. The forward for the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals already has produced an even more remarkable comeback just by getting back on the ice at all. Hodgson played six seasons in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks (2010-12), Buffalo Sabres (2012-15) and Nashville Predators (2015-16) before retiring at the age of 26 due to a diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia. Now he's healthy again.
