The Vancouver Canucks find themselves in a rough position, having gone 1-5-1 in their last seven games. Their most recent setback was their 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night at Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver.

The five-foot-10 blue-liner won the Norris Trophy for the NHL's best defenseman in 2023-24, and with half of this season in the books, he's making another case for himself. Throughout all of the turmoil that the Vancouver Canucks have endured, Hughes' numbers have remained consistent.

Quinn Hughes recorded one of the more bizarre stat lines on Saturday night. The Vancouver Canucks captain scored a goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs yet finished the night with zero shots on net. At first glance, this stat line doesn't make a lot of sense, which is why an explanation as to what happened on the play is needed.

The Canucks won the Pacific Division last season and nearly made the Western Conference Finals. However, this year has been a different story. Reports of a rift between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson have emerged in recent weeks.

The Canucks have struggled since the holiday break. Returning stars should help as the schedule turns difficult.

If there’s one thing that’s consistent about this team, it’s that they’re wildly inconsistent. The Vancouver Canucks managed to shutout the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena, taking a game that was nearly postponed thanks to a snowstorm by a 3-0 scoreline.
