Quinn Hughes led the Vancouver Canucks to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, contributing a goal and an assist. The Canucks managed to secure the win despite losing top scorer Brock Boeser to an illegal check from Tanner Jeannot.
Conor Garland capitalized on a power play opportunity following Jeannot's match penalty, while Jake DeBrusk and J.T. Miller also found the net. Kevin Lankinen made 25 saves, while Kings' Quinton Byfield and Vladislav Gavrikov scored for Los Angeles.
Boeser's potential absence could significantly impact Vancouver's playoff aspirations, as they aim for consecutive postseason appearances for the first time in over a decade.
