Hughes scores twice, Canucks hold off Oilers
Leon Draisaitl scored twice and Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for the Oilers (29-14-3), who lost for the first time in five games and second in the past 10 (8-2-0).
If the Canucks really felt they had to do something about their logjam at winger — a premise that doesn’t hold much weight today considering Phil Di Giuseppe is back in the top six — they should’ve picked another one of their promising young wingers: Nils Höglander.
The Vancouver Canucks snapped their two-game losing streak on Saturday with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Quinn Hughes scored twice, while Danton Heinen also beat Stuart Skinner as part of a three-goal first period.
After signing a series of cheap one-year deals with other clubs, Danton Heinen was finally rewarded with a two-year, $2.25 million AAV contract from the Canucks. Mediocre would be the best word to sum up Heinen’s tenure in Vancouver so far: He hasn’t hurt the team in any way, but he isn’t doing enough to move the needle either.
Still, Miller’s underlying numbers at 5-on-5 are quite strong. He leads all Canucks forwards in expected goals percentage, just ahead of Garland, as well as in on-ice goals for per 60 minutes, even if he’s not the one scoring the goals most of the time.
Make no mistake, what transpired at the end of Saturday night’s game was ugly. Cross-checks to the head and neck, no matter the reason for it, are more than deserving of supplemental discipline.
The Canucks ended their six-game road trip with a thud as they were embarrassed by the Jets. Winnipeg dominated on the scoreboard and, from an analytics perspective, winning both the even-strength scoring chances battle (20-13) and the even-strength high-danger scoring chances count (12-5).
Kevin Lankinen made 20 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and the seventh of his career, Quinn Hughes had a goal and an assist, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-0.
