Hewitt was sent back to the University of British Columbia on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hewitt was called up under emergency conditions, but will return to his college team as Ryan Miller (undisclosed) is healthy enough to return to the lineup. Hewitt is 0-3-0 so far this season with a .894 save percentage, so Canucks fans are breathing a sigh of relief he was not required to man the crease. The 23-year-old will no doubt use this experience to attempt to secure an entry-level deal following the conclusion of his collegiate career.

Hewitt was called up from the University of British Columbia on Tuesday to serve Jacob Markstrom's backup in the evening's game against the visiting Blues, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's rare for an NHL team to summon a player from collegiate hockey, but the Canucks didn't have much time to find an emergency replacement Tuesday, as starting goalie Ryan Miller is unavailable due to an undisclosed issue. Hewitt is merely an insurance option at this juncture.
