Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Nets power-play goal in loss
Rotowire
Hughes scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.
Hughes scored in response to a Blake Coleman shorthanded tally in the third period. The Canucks didn't build off Hughes' goal, which was the last in the game. The defenseman has a goal and seven helpers over his last four outings while playing massive minutes in a top-pairing role. He's at two goals, 21 points (11 on the power play), 52 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 18 appearances. Even with the Canucks sliding in the standings, Hughes will find ways to get involved on offense.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Out of lineup Friday
Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) won't play Friday versus the Hurricanes, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Hughes will miss a game after initially being listed as a game-time decision. It's unclear if this issue is related to the lower-body injury that cost him four contests earlier in the season. The defenseman's absence will open up more power-play time for Filip Hronek, while Victor Mancini (upper body) was activated from injured reserve earlier Friday and could be an option to play.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus the Hurricanes on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Hughes is currently stuck in a 10-game goal drought but has racked up six helpers in his last four outings, including a pair with the man advantage. If the blueliner does miss out against the Canes, it would likely mean increased ice time for Tom Willander, who could also be a candidate to move up to the No. 1 power-play unit.

Hughes has a goal, 13 points, two PIM, one hit and 14 blocks in 14 outings in 2025-26. If he can't play Friday, then Pierre-Olivier Joseph will probably draw into the lineup, and defenseman Elias Pettersson will probably see an increase in his workload to help fill in the void.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Pair of points in win
Rotowire
Hughes scored a power-play goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Stars.
Hughes' goal came from his own zone as he fired a quick shot that hit the net before Casey DeSmith could get to the Dallas bench for an extra attacker.

Hughes is at three points, 10 shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating to begin 2025-26, but he'll receive plenty of ice time to push for maintaining a point-per-game pace.
