At the epicentre of a ferocious debate among the Canucks' faithful about his power-play deployment so far, rookie Quinn Hughes helped heal the divide by setting up both extra-strength goals in a loss to the Predators. (imacSportsnet)
NASHVILLE — In a game that should satisfy both purists and draftists on the West Coast, thepushed a powerful Nashville team before losing 3-2 Thursday to the Predators on a pair of goals late in the third period.
After gaining the offensive zone, Hughes worked a beautiful give-and-go with Markus Granlund, who skated away from Predator defenceman P.K. Subban to bury a backhand top corner at 8:49 of the opening period. Hughes turned Vancouver’s second power-play unit into the top unit. So, everyone must be happy, right?
