Hughes remains from day to day for Canucks with injuries with a lower body

Vancouver -Quinn Hughes will not play on Wednesday (10:30 p.m. ET; SNP, KCOP-13, Victory+) for the Vancouver Canucks against the Anaheim Ducks, and the defender of Canucks No. 1 remains with an injury with a lower bodily harm every day in a 6: 3 loss on Saturday in Seattle.

Hughes exposed himself in Seattle in the last 9:05 and did not practice in Vancouver the next day. He returned to training on Tuesday, but went after 15 minutes and was not on the ice for the Canuck Morning Skate on Wednesday.

“He will get a few treatment and we will go from there,” said coach Rick Tocchet on Wednesday. “I don't know how many days, but we will switch him off tonight and see how it is tomorrow. This is really the injury, you can see how it works, see the heavy one. It somehow changes every day. He feels a little better and then it can get through a practice? “

The incumbent winner of the Norris Trophy, who was chosen as the top defender of the NHL, missed six games and, before and after the face of the 4 nations, was on the move with a slope injury that he had to miss. The game in Seattle was his third back, and Tocchet said that the new injury was partly a result of the compensation for the first.

“I don't think he will ever be 100 percent safe this year,” said Tocchet. “I don't think, but I can say that about other people in the league, it is difficult to be 100 percent at this time of year.”

The question now is how healthy Hughes must be before he can return. The 25-year-old has 60 points in 50 games (14 goals, 46 templates), which leads Vancouver and is third among the NHL defenders and leads the Canucks in the average ice age at 25:07.

Hughes also leads Vancouver with a plus 10 rating, but was minus 3 in each of his last two games.

“Eighty percent Quinn we will just record our team,” said Tocchet, “but we also have to be careful because he himself wasn't the last few games defensively.”

“When he plays, he has to be calculated when he goes, and if he doesn't and it is difficult because he wants to go all the time. That's why he's such a great hockey player.”
