VANCOUVER — Defenceman Quinn Hughes scored twice and collected an assist as the Vancouver Canucks finally found their scoring touch in a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in NHL pre-season play Saturday night.
Phillip Di Giuseppe had a goal and two assists for the Canucks who had managed just two goals in their previous three exhibition games, all losses.
The Vancouver captain tied the game on a pretty play at 8:35. Di Giuseppe chased down a puck in the Edmonton end, then sent a rink-wide pass that Hughes deflected past Skinner. The Canucks had a chance to extend their lead late in the period when Edmonton defencemen Evan Bouchard and Markus Niemelainen were called for penalties, giving Vancouver a two-man advantage for 1:02. Boeser and Hughes both had good looks but Skinner made the saves.
Pettersson extended the lead to 4-1 with another power-play goal at 5:08, beating Skinner with a high shot from the top of the faceoff circle. Di Giuseppe scored at 8:16 when he deflected defenceman Ian Cole’s point shot.Edmonton controlled long stretches of the first period, keeping the Canucks hemmed in their own end and using a pair of power plays to outshoot Vancouver 14-5.
