Filip Hronek and Quinn Hughes are being split up on the new Vancouver Canucks defence pairs for their game tonight.

Canucks fans are a little spoiled as they get to watch Hughes on a nightly basis. He pulls off moves that few players in the world can do while making it look easy. While the moves look spectacular from a distance, they are also stunning from ice level, according to Boeser.

Quinn Hughes scored two power-play goals and the struggling Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Saturday night. Danton Heinen also scored and J.T. Miller had two assists as the Canucks won for just the second time in eight games (2-4-2).

Elias Pettersson skated with Brock Boeser and Jake DeBrusk, and was more frequently self-matched with Quinn Hughes against the top end of the Toronto lineup. Frankly, Pettersson’s deployment patterns on Saturday more closely matched how the Canucks have utilized J.T. Miller for much of this season.

Leon Draisaitl scored twice and Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for the Oilers (29-14-3), who lost for the first time in five games and second in the past 10 (8-2-0).

On Monday the Buffalo Sabres started their four-game road trip with a very sub-par effort in Seattle losing to the Kraken 6-4. On Tuesday the venue changes to Vancouver to play a Canucks team that beat Buffalo in overtime in late November.

Connor McDavid was suspended on Monday and the response from Edmonton Oilers fans and media has been over the top, to say the least.

When the Sabres lost 4-3 in overtime to the Canucks on Nov. 29, much of the postgame talk centered around defenseman Quinn Hughes. The reigning Norris Trophy winner recorded two assists, including a primary one after controlling the 3-on-3 overtime period.

NHL insider Chris Johnston shared his thoughts on Connor McDavid’s three-game suspension on First Up with Korolnek & Colaiacovo podcast.
