The Vancouver Canucks are getting their most important player back for their most important game of the season so far.
Captain Quinn Hughes is back in the lineup after missing four games with an undisclosed injury.
"Theres a good possibility, I saw him this morning. He looks good so there's a good possibility he'll be in the lineup tonight," head coach Rick Tocchet said before Hughes took warmups and was confirmed to be in the lineup.
The 25-year-old captain has been listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury since getting injured in the Canucks' 6-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken on March 1.
Hughes was also forced to miss the 4 Nations Face-Off and six games back in February as a result of an injury.
The reigning Norris Trophy leads the Canucks in scoring with 14 goals and 46 assists in 50 games this season.
Defenceman Tyler Myers and forward Jonathan Lekkerimaki were not in the lineup for the Canucks. Nils Aman replaced Lekkerimaki in the lineup.
