The Vancouver Canucks will see a key return on the blue line as they prepare to face the Calgary Flames. Captain Quinn Hughes is back after a four-game injury absence, bringing much-needed reinforcements to the defense. However, Tyler Myers will remain sidelined, leaving a significant gap. Coach Rick Tocchet mentioned that while some players are banged up, no specific names were provided.

Hughes's return is crucial, especially since he has participated in just three of the last 13 games. He is expected to team up with Marcus Pettersson on defense and should play a pivotal role in the power play. This matchup against the Flames marks the final meeting of the season between the two teams, with Calgary leading the series 2-1. The game is set for 6:00 PM PT at Scotiabank Saddledome, and with Hughes back in action, the Canucks will look to even the score.
