Hughes (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Sharks, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes suffered a lower-body injury during Friday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks and will miss at least one game as a result. The 19-year-old rookie has had a fantastic start to the season, racking up 10 points through his first 13 games, so it won't be easy for fantasy owners or the Canucks to replace his production. Another update on the 5-foot-10 blueliner's status will undoubtedly surface ahead of Tuesday's matchup with St. Louis.

Hughes (lower body) will not return to Friday's game versus the Ducks, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes went down after appearing to catch his skate in a rut on the ice. He limped to the locker room and was ruled out for the remainder of the game during the first intermission. With 10 points in 13 appearances, Hughes has become a viable fantasy defenseman as well as a power-play specialist for the Canucks -- it will be hard to replace his production if he misses time. However, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.ca reports Hughes may be available for Saturday's contest in San Jose, so it's safe to consider the 20-year-old day-to-day at this time.

Hughes registered three assists on the man advantage in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The defenseman supplied helpers to Brock Boeser and Bo Horvat in the first period, and then to Elias Pettersson in the third. Hughes' third multi-point effort this year gives him 10 points in 12 contests. That's enough for fantasy usage, but with only 17 shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots, he's not doing much to help in non-scoring categories.

Hughes had a power-play assist but also went minus-4 in Friday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes was frequently on the ice as the Capitals clawed back from a four-goal deficit. It doesn't take away the fact that the 20-year-old blueliner has four helpers in his last three games. He's up to seven points in 10 games this season, with five of those points coming on the man advantage.

Hughes had two assists and was plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The diminutive rookie assisted on each of Vancouver's first two goals, as the Canucks rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the third period. Hughes, 20, has picked up three assists over his last two games and has six points in nine games overall.

Hughes notched an assist in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes was utilized on the top power-play unit, and he set up the opening goal of the game. It was his first power-play point of the campaign. He has four points in eight contests, putting him on pace for 40 points.

Hughes netted a power-play goal and added an assist and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 8-2 drubbing of the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first NHL goal for the Florida native. Hughes' multi-point effort gives him three points in as many games this season after he produced three helpers in five games at the tail end of last year.

Hughes will represent Team USA at the World Championship.

EDGE Analysis

The 19-year-old defenseman got his first taste of NHL action by playing in five games for the Canucks. He immediately gelled with his teammates, registering three assists, and seeing time on the power play. He'll head to the World Championship and get more experience under his belt.

Hughes tallied a pair of assists -- both on the power play -- in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

The high-profile prospect has yet to find the back of the net in his NHL career, but Hughes has tallied three helpers in his first four games at the pro level and has looked every bit as advertised so far. He's sure to be a mainstay on Vancouver's blue line next season.

Hughes (foot) picked up a helper and two shots while skating 15:36 in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The seventh overall pick from 2018 has arrived, and it took only 35 minutes for him to etch his name on the scoresheet for the first of presumably many times. Hughes could be a good budget DFS pick for the remainder of the season if he can maintain a place in the lineup.
