Hughes scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

His goal was a gimme. Leafs defender Simon Benoit inadvertently swatted the puck out of the air and into the net, and Hughes was the last Canuck to touch the puck. He has 47 points (nine goals, 38 assists) in 38 games this season. The next closest Canuck has 30 points. Quinn leads NHL defenders in assists and is third overall in points. Norris anyone? Anyone? Or maybe the Hart?

Hughes notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the prior four games due to an undisclosed issue, Hughes was right back in form in his return, producing his sixth multi-point performance in 13 appearances since the beginning of December. The All-Star blueliner has eight goals and 44 points through 35 contests this season, with 17 of those points (one goal and 16 helpers) coming on the power play.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes will avoid missing his fifth consecutive game, and it comes at the right time as the Canucks are kicking off a five-game road trip Monday. The all-world blueliner will occupy his usual spot on the top pairing in addition to quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit. Guillaume Brisebois will come out of the lineup as a result of Hughes' return.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes participated in Sunday's practice and worked on the top power-play unit, suggesting he is very close to returning from a four-game absence. He has amassed eight goals and 42 points through 34 appearances this season. If Hughes receives the green light to play against the Canadiens, Guillaume Brisebois could come out of the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

After the Canucks host Nashville on Friday, Vancouver will begin a five-game road trip in Montreal on Monday.

Hughes (undisclosed) is week-to-week, coach Rick Tocchet told Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes won't travel with the Canucks for their upcoming games in Calgary and Seattle on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, but his week-to-week label suggests he'll likely miss more than just those two games. The 25-year-old defenseman has eight goals and 42 points in 34 outings in 2024-25. His absence has created an opportunity for Erik Brannstrom to play regularly and serve on the top power-play unit.

Hughes (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt versus Seattle, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes has been dealing with the injury since before the break but had yet to miss a game. The 25-year-old blueliner has tallied eight goals and 34 assists in 34 games this season. Look for either Guillaume Brisebois or Erik Brannstrom to draw into the lineup in place of Hughes.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes was bothered by an undisclosed issue prior to the holiday break but was ultimately able to play Monday against the Sharks. He had two assists in that contest, but it appears the injury has not healed as expected over the break. If Hughes misses time, Guillaume Brisebois or Erik Brannstrom will draw into the lineup.

Hughes notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes was labeled a game-time decision due to an undisclosed injury prior to Monday's game. He played and delivered a good performance over 24:45 of ice time, his lowest workload in the last six games. The superstar defenseman has racked up a goal and seven assists over his last five contests. He's at eight goals, 34 helpers, 109 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 34 appearances. While whatever was ailing Hughes was something he could play through, he'll get a chance to rest anyway with the Canucks off until Saturday's game versus the Kraken.

Hughes (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Monday versus San Jose, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes' status was in question heading into Monday's contest, but he'll avoid missing his first game of the campaign. The 2018 first-round selection will fill his usual role on the top pair and No. 1 power-play unit. The all-world blueliner ranks second among defensemen in the NHL in scoring with eight goals and 40 points through 33 games.
