Hughes is making a strong case to win his second straight award given to the best defenseman in the NHL. He leads the Canucks into Enterprise Center to face the St. Louis Blues on Monday (7:30 p.m. ET; FDSNMW, Prime) off a two-goal performance in a 2-1 win against the Washington Capitals at Rogers Arena on Saturday.
The Vancouver Canucks are preparing to make some big trades, and according to Jim Rutherford, they'll play a big role in Quinn Hughes' future with the team.
The Canucks picked up the game’s first power play after some decent pressure on Nashville, as Steven Stamkos was called for holding. Perhaps lost in the shuffle is how good the Canucks’ power play was in their 5-2 win over the St.

The Canucks hadn't won back-to-back games since Dec. 1, but looked more like their old selves against the Blues.
Hughes crossed the puck in front of the goal with a jaw-dropping pass that somehow snuck under the outstretched legs of a diving Blues defender and ended up right on the stick of Garland, who tucked it away for his 12th goal of the campaign.
The third period started with a long sequence in the Canucks’ end that featured Filip Hronek getting a stick to the ribs (uncalled), then Derek Forbort getting high-sticked (uncalled) and Pius Suter taking a penalty. The Preds’ power play is a good one, but the Canucks managed to keep them at bay. Thank GOD Noah Juulsen was in the lineup.
