Canucks fans are a little spoiled as they get to watch Hughes on a nightly basis. He pulls off moves that few players in the world can do while making it look easy. While the moves look spectacular from a distance, they are also stunning from ice level, according to Boeser.

Boeser notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Oilers. Boeser has had a mediocre January, earning only three points over nine outings. The 27-year-old helped out on the second of Quinn Hughes' tallies in Saturday's contest.

If the Canucks and Boeser can’t come to an agreement before the summer, they risk losing him for nothing. That’s why he’s a candidate to be traded if there’s no new deal before the March 7 trade deadline. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin has admitted as much in past interviews.

Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.

The Vancouver Canucks aren’t in peril, but their precarious position commands attention. It’s the type of challenge that captain Quinn Hughes embraces. He has 16 points (5-11) in his last 12 games and is three points shy of leading all defencemen in scoring.

Quinn Hughes scored two power-play goals and the struggling Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2. Danton Heinen also scored and J.T.

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.

The Vancouver Canucks hit the road for a one-and-done road trip as they face their division rival Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. It was a 3-2 victory for the Canucks this past Saturday when the two teams last met.

Who were we kidding? If subduing the struggling Buffalo Sabres was the only thing at play Tuesday, it would be just another day at Rogers Arena. However, with constant leaguewide attention on the if-and-when potential of a possible J.

As for the heatmap, it was a mess for Vancouver. Buffalo was able to generate shots from all over the zone, including right beside Thatcher Demko. The Canucks also struggled to create chances, as only six of the 34 shots Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen were registered as high-danger shots.
