The Vancouver Canucks are keeping themselves squarely in the Western Conference playoff race thanks to a huge shootout win over the Calgary Flames. Defenseman Quinn Hughes returned to the Canucks’ lineup against the Flames and made an immediate impact,

The Vancouver Canucks entered Wednesday looking to end a two-game slide and with the status of star defenseman Quinn Hughes remains a question going into the match against the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome.

Hughes will return from a four-game absence due to this injury. He's been banged up for the better part of six weeks, but the 25-year-old is a huge boost to the Canucks ' defense and power play if he can play through any lingering issues. Expect Hughes to log time on the first pairing and top power-play unit in Wednesday's contest.
