Will Quinn Hughes make his return to the Vancouver Canucks' lineup on Wednesday night?
The biggest question for the Vancouver Canucks right now is when will Quinn Hughes make his return to the lineup.Hughes' absence from the Canucks' two games on the weekend suggests that the team's medical staff made the right call when they didn't clear him to play for Team USA in the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off. It should put to rest any conspiracy theories that the Canucks were doing Team Canada a solid in the tournament by keeping Hughes out of the final.
Coming out of the break, Hughes was optimistic that he could return for Saturday's game against the Las Vegas Golden Knights but he was held out of not only that game but also Sunday's game against the Utah Hockey Club. The Canucks lost both games, scoring a single goal in each games and losing by one goal, notwithstanding empty-net goals.
It's hard to say. Players try to play through injury all the time, so it may have been a situation where Hughes would have tried to return before the break even if he wasn't pushing to play for his country. Maybe it wasn't clear how severe the injury was until he pushed it. Maybe he would've been out for four weeks no matter what.
Unfortunately, that bumps Brock Boeser down to the third line with Pius Suter and Drew O'Connor. Boeser has struggled to produce of late, with just two points in his last eight games. The Canucks' starting goaltender is expected to be Kevin Lankinen, with Arturs Silovs presumably getting the start on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks.
