Rotowire

Hughes came through for the Canucks when they needed him most by helping set up the game-tying goal with four seconds left in regulation.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Assist, heavy minutes in return
Rotowire
Hughes logged a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.
Hughes returned from a four-game absence and set up a Jake DeBrusk tally in the second period. If the Canucks were planning on easing Hughes back in, it didn't happen -- he led the team with 29:48 of ice time and had to pick up the slack when Elias Pettersson (upper body) exited the contest after the first period. It's unclear if Hughes is fully healthy or just managing his injury to help the Canucks' playoff push. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 61 points (23 on the power play), 144 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 51 appearances.

Rotowire

He's been banged up for the better part of six weeks, but the 25-year-old is a huge boost to the Canucks' defense and power play if he can play through any lingering issues. Expect Hughes to log time on the first pairing and top power-play unit in Wednesday's contest.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Remains out Tuesday
Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Montreal on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Head coach Rick Tocchet wouldn't rule Hughes out against the Flames on Wednesday, so he should probably be considered a game-time call for that contest. The defenseman is stuck in a six-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 25 versus Dallas. Filip Hronek figures to remain on the No. 1 power-play unit while Hughes is sidelined.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) had a maintenance day Sunday, and the Canucks will see how he feels each day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Ducks, Ben Kuzma of Postmedia reports.
Hughes tweaked something during Saturday's game against the Kraken, but head coach Rick Tocchet said Sunday that it wasn't related to his previous oblique injury. The Canucks will have a day off Monday before practicing Tuesday, and Hughes' level of participation in practice could provide an indication of whether the team expects him to play Wednesday.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Injury concerns re-emerge
Rotowire
Hughes "tweaked something" late in Saturday's game versus the Kraken and is set to be evaluated Sunday, per head coach Rick Tocchet.
Hughes didn't play in the last part of the third period. He played 21:56 in Saturday's matchup, but his game was not in peak form, as he went minus-3 and didn't earn a point in the loss. Considering Hughes was just in his third game back after missing six due to an oblique injury, there are plenty of reasons for concern around the Canucks' captain. The good news is he has three days to rest the injury before the team begin a four-game homestand with Wednesday's contest versus the Ducks.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Sets up game-winner
Rotowire
Hughes recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
Hughes' availability for Wednesday's contest came down to a true game-time decision, but he was able to suit up as part of a seven-defensemen lineup. The 25-year-old was expected to be eased back into action after a six-game absence, but he still ended up with 21:38 of ice time. He was on the ice in a clutch moment, setting up Conor Garland's second goal of the game at 4:26 of overtime to secure the win. That helper got Hughes to the 60-point mark on the season, and he's added 138 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 48 appearances. A couple of injuries have likely ruined his chances of matching last season's 92-point output, but if he maintains his overall pace, he'll finish with the best points-per-game mark of his career, which is currently at 1.25.
