VANCOUVER — Captain Quinn Hughes and centre Elias Pettersson were both out of the Vancouver Canucks ' lineup against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday afternoon. Neither player attended the Canucks ' first practice after the Christmas break Friday.

He didn’t return to the ice when he was named the game’s first star. Hughes had two assists in that game.
