Hughes (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Stars, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
The Vancouver Canucks are in the market for a centre, and they apparently tried to acquire a player with close ties to Quinn Hughes.
Hughes (undisclosed) won't play Friday versus the Wild, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. Hughes is set to miss a second straight game due to his latest injury. The 25-year-old blueliner had one assist over three contests after recovering from an oblique injury in February.
Vancouver convincingly controlled play and piled up nearly 40 shots to grind out a much-needed 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
The Canucks built themselves a bit of a cushion in the standings before the 4 Nations Face-Off break. But a disastrous 1-4-0 post-break road trip has left their playoff spot vulnerable.
The Vancouver Canucks played with their lines at practice today and Elias Pettersson has been reunited with Nils Höglander.
Canucks forward Elias Pettersson has zero goals and only three assists in his last 10 games, and has opened up about his struggles.
Staying or going? Here's why the Canucks should not consider a second blockbuster trade, this time involving Elias Pettersson.
Kiefer Sherwood scored late in the third period as the Vancouver Canucks downed the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Friday. Elias Pettersson opened the scoring for the Canucks (29-22-11) on a man advantage midway through the first period.
All that has come into play for the perplexing and consistently inconsistent Vancouver Canucks, who are coming off a dismal 1-4-0 road trip after going on an impressive 6-1-1 run before the 4 Nations Face-Off break.
