Vancouver Canucks is delighted to welcome their star defenceman Quinn Hughes back on ice. As the Canucks get ready to host the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, Quinn is expected to put on the skates. With a lower-body injury, he has already missed 4 games. 

For the upcoming event, Quinn stated that he’s excited to face off against his brother Jack Hughes of the Devils. Their parents will also be present in the arena, making the game all the more exciting for both brothers. The injury was lingering as the defenceman participated in the camp a week late.

Quinn stated, “I thought it was behind me, and then after every game it just got worse and then to a point where we realized we had to shut it down for a minute,” Hughes said. “I’m feeling really good now, and hopefully it’s behind me.” Averaging an ice time of 27:14 this season, he’s 2nd in NHL to Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings.

Regarding his recent lower-body injury and the upcoming game, Quinn stated, “I feel really good”. “It’s not fun being injured, so I’m excited to come back and it should be fun, especially against the Devils with my parents in town, my brother in town. We need the points, but it should be a fun game.”

Defenceman Ethan Bear and Riley Stillman will also be joining the roster. Bear will be playing for the first time since his trade, while Riley will be joining the team after missing 4 games with an undisclosed injury. As for forward Brock Boeser, Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said that he’ll also be joining the team soon.

He missed 3 games of the season with an undisclosed injury, but it’s not in a serious condition to make him miss another game. Boeser also missed most of his camp time after having hand surgery on September 26. Boudreau noted, “We’ll know his status whether he can practice with us tomorrow or not”. “He feels ready. He’s been skating.”
