victory
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Former Vancouver captain Quinn Hughes had
a goal to reach 500 NHL points and added an assist in his return to Rogers
Arena in the Minnesota Wild's 4-2 victory over the Canucks on Sunday night.
Traded to Minnesota in December, Hughes was booed throughout the night.
He scored on a power player midway through the second period to make it 3-0,
and set up Kirill Kaprizov's NHL-leading 13th goal early in the third for a 4-0
advantage. In 13 games this season, Hughes has three goals and 13 assists.
Picked seventh overall by the Canucks in 2018, Hughes played 6 1/2 seasons in
Vancouver before the blockbuster trade sent him to Minnesota. The deal saw
Vancouver acquire Marco Rossi and Liam Ohgren, defenseman Zeev Buium and the
Wild's first-round pick in the 2026 NHL draft.
Kaprizov and Maxim Shabanov also each had a goal and assist, and Bobby Brink
scored.
Calvin Pickard made 15 saves as the Wild improved to 8-3-2, following up a 5-1
victory over the Kraken in Seattle on Saturday.
Max Sasson and Brock Boeser scored for Vancouver. Leevi Merilainen stopped 30
shots.
Vancouver dropped to 2-10-1 with its 10th straight loss.
Hughes became the second-fastest American defenseman to reach 500 NHL points,
achieving the feat in 520 games. Brian Leetch hit the milestone in 496 games
with the New York Rangers.
