Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) will remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens, marking his fourth consecutive absence. However, he is making progress, and Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet told reporters on Monday that Hughes is getting closer to a return. "He's progressing, and he could surprise us any time when he's ready to go," Tocchet said. "I'm not saying he's going to be in the lineup tomorrow. It's coming; I just don't know when." The Canucks will complete a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Calgary Flames. Filip Hronek and Tyler Myers have received increased power-play time during Hughes' absence. Hronek has been more productive of the two, recording four assists over the past three games.
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) will not be in the starting lineup on Wednesday evening when the Cancuks face the Anaheim Ducks.

Before his injury, Hughes tallied an impressive 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) over 13 games. During this span, he logged 15 blocked shots with 27 shots on goal. With Hughes sitting out this evening, fantasy managers should expect Elias Pettersson to draw into the starting lineup and Tyler Myers to move up to the top power-play unit.

The 25-year-old logged just over 20 minutes of ice time and was given more rest during the final frame.

Before his injury, Hughes was enjoying an impressive stretch as he tallied 14 points (six goals, eight helpers) over his previous 10 contests. If the defenseman suffered a setback, Elias Pettersson or Victor Mancini will likely draw back into the starting lineup.

He was able to set up Connor Garland on the game-winner in overtime to seal the victory. This also extended his point streak to an impressive nine games. Before his injury, Hughes tallied 12 points (five goals, seven helpers) over his last eight games while logging 21 shots on goal. Fantasy managers should view Hughes as a must-start player in all formats and a top pick in DFS on Thursday when he faces the Anaheim Ducks.

Elias Pettersson has replaced Hughes in the lineup and is coming off a good effort. He tallied his first career point via an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings.

Tyler Myers and Filip Hronek would likely slot up to the top power-play unit and could be worth a look as a value play in DFS.

He has sat out four games with an undisclosed injury, but the chances of Hughes returning on Monday appear high. The star blue-liner practiced on Sunday and worked with the first power-play group. Only two defensemen in the league have recorded more points than Hughes, who boasts eight goals and 42 points through 34 outings.

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) is week-to-week, according to head coach Rick Tocchet. The Canucks captain exited the lineup on Saturday versus Seattle, and it looks like he will miss a few more games. Hughes sat out Sunday's practice and won't join the team for a brief two-game road trip next week. His absence on Saturday elevated Erik Brannstrom to a bigger role. He even ended up leading the Canucks blue line in power-play time with 1:31. Brannstrom will be in a good position to improve his production if he can hang on to his spot on the first power-play unit. In 27 appearances, the 25-year-old has so far contributed three goals and four assists on the offensive end.
