We’re back on Quinn Hughes watch. Will he make his hobbled return vs. the Stars?
Dallas Stars vs. Vancouver Canucks
TV: Sportsnet Radio: Sportsnet 650
The fear: The Canucks are still struggling to generate shots and against the Stars, that’s not a way to victory.
The top guns: Roope Hintz has 14 points in four games. Boeser is the leading scorer among Canucks forwards since Jan. 1. He has 13 points in that time.
The latest: Hughes remains a huge question mark for Sunday. He barely skated on Friday and didn’t skate at all on Saturday. Demko continues to make slow progress in his return from a lower-body injury. He skated on his own on Saturday.
The projected lineup:
Joshua-Pettersson-Garland
O’Connor-Chytil-Lekkerimäki
DeBrusk-Suter-Boeser
Höglander-Blueger-Sherwood
E. Pettersson-Hronek
M. Pettersson-Myers
Forbort-Mancini
Lankinen
The prediction: This is going to be a bash and crash slug fest. Watch the Canucks win 2-1.
