Hughes made it 3-1 Vancouver at 2:44 of the third period on a wrist shot from the left point. The defenseman has six points (one goal, five assists) in his past three games. Vladislav Gavrikov cut it to 3-2 at 13:57 on a shot from the blue line through Trevor Lewis’ screen.

Playoff level physicality took center stage on Thursday night as the Los Angeles Kings fell to the Vancouver Canucks, 4-2. Unfortunately for the Kings, they not only lost the game, but also likely some manpower in the short term.

Vancouver leading scorer Brock Boeser sustained a head injury after an illegal hit from Kings forward Tanner Jeannot during the Kings' 4-2 loss.

For the sixth straight game, the Canucks conceded the game’s first goal. Despite that stat, though, they’ve managed to win some games along the way, and tonight was no exception!
