Speaking to reporters ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Kings, head coach Rick Tocchet provided an update on the 25-year-old captain.
“Quinn’s probably going to be a game-time (decision). He’s skating out there today, and he’s gonna go pretty hard to see how he felt,” Tocchet said.
Hughes has not played since a game on Jan. 31 against the Dallas Stars, missing the Canucks’ last six games due to injury.
He leads Vancouver in scoring with 59 points in 47 games this season.
Catch the Canucks and Kings facing off starting at 7 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
