Hughes logged two assists, including one on the power play, and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes has dished five assists in his last three games, and four of them have come on the power play. He's been held off the scoresheet just once in eight appearances this season. The 23-year-old defenseman has 10 helpers (five on the power play), 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating.

Hughes registered a pair of power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes continues to be an elite playmaker on the back end, as he's up to eight helpers in seven games. Four of those assists have come on the power play, where he picked up 31 of his 60 apples last season. The 23-year-old blueliner has added 15 shots on net, a minus-1 rating and nine blocked shots this year, and he should continue to see top-pairing minutes.

Hughes recorded a power-play assist in his first game back from injury against the Devils on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes has registered a point in all but one of his six contests this year, putting him on track to match his 68-point 2021-22 campaign. With his injury concerns seemingly behind him, Hughes should continue to rack up points this season and figures to be in the discussion for the Norris Trophy at the end of the campaign.

Hughes (lower body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Devils, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes should return to his usual top-pairing role while quarterbacking the first power-play unit. He missed four games with the lower-body injury. The defenseman had five assists, including one on the power play, in five games to begin the campaign.

Hughes (lower body) is expected to return Tuesday against the Devils, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes (lower body) rejoined the Canucks at practice Sunday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes has missed Vancouver's last four games after suffering a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old blueliner logged five assists in his first five contests of the season after putting up 68 points (eight goals, 60 assists) in 2021-22. Hughes can return to Vancouver's top pairing as soon as Tuesday, when the Canucks take on the Devils.

Hughes (lower body) was called day-to-day by Canucks GM Patrik Allvin on Wednesday, though coach Bruce Boudreau doesn't believe he'll return until next week, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes missed the Canucks' last two games because of the injury. When he's healthy, he's a vital part of Vancouver's blueline. Especially in the midst of their season-opening 0-5-2 slump, the Canucks could use Hughes back as soon as possible.

Hughes (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Boudreau said Monday that Hughes was listed as week-to-week, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. It remains unclear when he will be available to return. Hughes last playe Oct. 20 against Minnesota.

Hughes (undisclosed) is listed as week-to-week, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes won't be in the lineup Monday against Carolina, and it doesn't sound like he will be available to play anytime soon. He also sat out Saturday's game against Buffalo.

Hughes (undisclosed) is not in Saturday's lineup against Buffalo, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes was considered a game-time decision but he'll ultimately miss his first start of the year. The 23-year-old defenseman tallied five assists in the first five games of the season while averaging a ridiculous 27:14 of ice time. He'll be considered questionable for Monday's tilt with the Hurricanes.
