Quinn Hughes scored twice and the struggling Vancouver Canucks edged the visiting Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Saturday. Danton Heinen added a goal and J.T. Miller contributed two assists for the Canucks (20-15-10), who came into the game with losses in six of their last seven contests.

On Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers faced off against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena. Sparks flew at the end of the game, and two players– Connor McDavid and Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers– received match penalties which triggered automatic hearings with the Department of Player Safety.

The Edmonton Oilers went 3-1 in four games last week, including two come-from-behind wins, and almost pulled off another against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan.

The Capitals as a team lead the NHL with an impressive 31-10-5 record, having earned a point in 10 straight games (7-0-3).

All seven NHL teams based in Canada have a good chance at the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with a couple looking like true championship contenders.
