'I feel good so whenever they tell me I’m playing, I’m going to play.' Quinn Hughes says he's ready for his Canucks debut.
"I don’t think I need to do anything special," the 19-year-old defenceman said after practice on Wednesday. "I just need to get the puck up to the forwards because they’re so skilled. So I’m just going to try to do my job and keep the puck out of the net."
Hutton said Wednesday that he’s ready to get back in the lineup as soon as the team’s medical staff give their OK. Time off the ice gave Hutton a chance to get to know Hughes. The newbie was quiet and shy at first, he said, but has since opened up and now asks a lot of questions."He’s a young kid but he’s pretty mature at the same time. I feel like he’s going to be able to handle it well," he said. "He’s going to go out there and ooh and aah a couple of people. He’s going to be confident, he’s going to go out there and make his plays. So I’m excited to see him play.
